You don't have to assume anything. The Act is publicly accessible. You can read it yourself. There is even a very honest description of this history and interests of the Act here: http://www.parl.gc.ca/Content/LOP/LegislativeSummaries/41/1/c11-e.pdf http://www.parl.gc.ca/Content/LOP/LegislativeSummaries/41/1/... The problem with having a knee-jerk reaction without understanding why is that there are real problems with the Act. All the exceptions (backup, time-shifting, format shifting) are excluded if the copyright holder puts a digital lock on the content. Also, there is a change to outlaw services that are designed primarily to enable acts of copyright infringement, which will be expensive for the industries to sort out in the courts. If you spoke to your MP and Senator with specific and reasonable concerns and suggestions, you're more likely to affect change.
