Globe and Mail coverage of Canada' proposed copyright legislation, heavily biased in favour of its passage, summarizing progress to date as it approaches second reading (a law requires three votes, or 'readings', to pass in Canada, after which it is generally approved by the Senate and Governor general). The bill is generally supported by the tech community, or would be except for is digital lock provision, which basically overrides the rights otherwise granted to consumers.
