    "The Department of Canadian Heritage has just released the second of 
    three studies on selected digital copyright issues prepared by our firm 
    that addresses some of these issues. The new study discusses the policy 
    issues surrounding the degree to which Canada should afford some form of 
    legal protection to TPMs in the context of whether (and how) Canada may 
    choose to implement the World Intellectual Property Organization 
    Copyright Treaty and WIPO Performances and Phonograms Treaty 
    (collectively the Treaties). These Treaties call for adequate legal 
    protection and effective legal remedies against the circumvention of TPMs 
    by countries that have signed on to the two Treaties, and are an attempt 
    to reform copyright law in the context of the digital era. Canada has 
    signed on to the Treaties, but has yet to determine the degree to which 
    domestic legislation already complies with these new treaty obligations, 
    and to define any additional legislative responses that may either be 
    required by the Treaties or desirable from a Canadian perspective."

"They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a 
little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor 
safety." -- Benjamin Franklin
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too 
much liberty than to those attending too small a degree of it.
-Thomas Jefferson 1743-1826)
