The Canadian DMCA: A Betrayal - Michael Geist's second take on the bill isn't any more positive than his first.

Government Tables Flawed Copyright Bill - by Sam Trosow, Professor of Law at the University of Western Ontario, is equally unenthused. He completely echoes my sentiments:

There's disappointment because, even though it was roundly expected that the bill was likely to be a reaction to pressure from the US government and large entertainment companies, there was always the slight glimmer of hope that in delaying the tabling of the bill, the government was finally listening to what average Canadians were saying.  So there is some disappointment that this was not the case.

Common illegal activities - Darryl Moore lists activities which will become illegal if Bill C-61 is passed unchanged.
