Canada closer to new copyright law, will be in lockstep with U.S.

The Canadian government will unveil new copyright legislation Wednesday that is expected to favour entertainment giants and electronics manufacturers over consumers.

The bill will modernize Canada’s copyright laws through a series of reforms that will affect everything from what Canadians can play on their iPods to how artists pay their bills.

While CD owners can finally make copies of their music for their iPods, expect that future CDs and DVDs will come with digital locks to restrict mulitple copying.

So get ready for the next round of independent code crackers to trump corporate progammers
