Digital Locks and Proposed Canadian Legislation

From the tech blog post “Is your intellectual property more important than my personal property?” at straight.com, and op-ed by developer Dorian Taylor:

” …if you purchase an object which is ultimately still under the control of the one who sold it to you, do you really own it? Is it really your property if it can betray you and obey some­body else? We see this behaviour already with locked mobile phones and HD cabling boondoggles among numerousother com examples. It does not benefit the con­sumer one iota to have these locks in place.”
