From the article:
OTTAWA - Consumers will be locked out of some digital content they have already paid for and face penalties up to $20,000 if they try to get around any digital lock to copy CDs or DVDs for themselves under Canada's proposed new copyright bill.
However, the federal government admits it won't be policing the proposed new rules and concedes it's unlikely most people would be penalized.
...
Policing the proposed regulations would be the responsibility of the copyright holder, such as musicians who create the music.
"The person who owns the copyright has the legal right to pursue that consumer for up to $500. Now will they do it? It's pretty unlikely somebody is going to start a lawsuit to recover $500," Industry Minister Jim Prentice said.
"I don't think it's the responsibility of the government to police and enforce."

Does Jim Prentice think we are stupid?... Of course noone is gonna sue for 500.00 ... that why he included the PER Infringment clause.... Maybe he's the stupid one, and thinks that people will only put 1 of the 15 songs that circumvent the DRM to put in thier IPOD...
HELOOOOOOO JIMBO... thats 15x500.00 or $7500.00
"I don't think it's the responsibility of the government to police and enforce."
JIMBO... again... do you really think we are that stupid, or are you actually that stupid?.....of course it's not the govenments responsibility to police and enforce.... that's why you have police and courts.. you just make the laws meatball.... If the law is not gonna be inforced then why make the law in the firstplace?..
I'll tell you why... cause he knows FULL WELL, he's making the law for other people to use and the courts to enforce... he's not lying.. he's just not telling the truth because he thinks we are to stupid to realise the difference....
