"Consumers may lose digital content they have paid for" -- Vancouver Sun

It's a pretty comprehensive article about the problems we could face.

"Instead, the law could end up making it illegal for anyone to bypass security on material they already own -- either to transfer music from a copy-protected CD to a computer or music player, crack a region-coded DVD or video game from Europe or Asia to play on their Canadian DVD player or console, or to copy portions of electronic books."

In short, fair dealing rights (i.e., being allowed to make personal copies) will be obliterated.
