Canadian Gov Withdraws DMCA Bill—Can They Withdraw Ours?

And here you put your finger on the entire point of DRM and encryption. It's not about discouraging piracy; it's about taking away my Fair Use rights, and selling them back to me, piece by piece.

Imagine you travel to another region and buy a DVD.

You're not supposed to do that, in some countries they imprison you for life for importing a few grams of marihuana. Anything else would completely destroy our inflated european prices and some poor guy may have to sell two of his ten yachts and his private jet. What a cruel thought of you...
