That and lack of due process allows for abuse of the DMCA to scare fair use users into backing off just because they can't take on the 8,000lb gorilla.
And Canada's proposed legislation is even worse, fair use is basically meaningless, because the use might be fair but breaking a digital lock to get at the stuff to use is still illegal.
