More on Copyright

I was reading more on the proposed copyright bill at cbc.ca. It really looks like a candy-coated suicide pill.
There are some seemingly positive aspects, such as it would be legal to format shift content. ie, it would be legal to play your cd's on your ipod. BUT, if the producer puts a "digital lock" on the content, it becomes illegal to break it.
So what constitutes a "digital lock"? How about a text file on the cd saying, "Please do not copy this."

reductio ad absurdum

and further:
Clement has said he would like to fast-track Bill C-32
No I do not trust this ....
