Well, C-32 has a provision that allows a "Governor" to regulate the
details. In this way, this "Governor" could rule in the same way as the
Library of Congress has ruled. Most likely, this will happen, since
Canada is hanging behind in the implementation of the treaties, and
quite frankly nobody seems to have the stomach to enforce copyright in
the same harsh way in courts as it was done in the US in the courts
(and even there the cases seem to have been taken out of court after
the test cases have been completed).<br>
<br>
Furthermore, in Canada's parliament there at least was a Private
Member's Bill-273 (Right to Repair) in 2009 for cars. However, the
ruling of the Library of Congress may give us another argument to go to
our MPs and ask C-32 being dropped or changed in a way that it truly
allows fair use.<br>
