Today it is also being reported that the Liberals are looking for a compromise by including a personal exemption to the digital lock provisions. This makes sense as you should be able to format shift your legally-purchased content from a DVD to an iPod, for example.

Becoming WIPO compliant doesn't have to be at the expense of consumers - many other countries have exemptions for breaking locks/TPN for personal use. Frankly, to now allow for personal use of legally obtained content is blatantly anti-consumer.
