ITWorldCanada has launched a new petition on C-61, focusing on anti-circumvention legislation. The petition adopts an approach that preserves permitted uses by calling for reform of the bill by amending the anti-circumvention provisions to read:
"No person shall circumvent a technological measure within the meaning of paragraph (a) of the definition “technological measure” in section 41 for the purpose of violating the rights of a copyright owner …” and to remove sections 41.1 through 41.21."
