The federal government recently passed two bills into law, C-244 and C-294. These make it not a copyright violation to break or bypass a digital access control to software/hardware you own have legitimate access to, for the purposes of diagonstics/maintenance/repair, and interoperability respectively.

What are your thoughts?
I see a problem with the term “that you own”. Basically all software is not owned, just licensed.
Was paraphrasing a bit, the verbiage in C-294 is “a lawfully obtained computer program” so it can be just licensed to you. Not a lawyer so take from it what you will. Edited my post
Thanks for the clarification. That really makes a difference.
