Bill C-61 site...

[Dave Germiquet]

Ask them the following about 61B to:

If we buy hardware why can't we unlock it or install custom firmware
on devices, from what I understand this bill makes that illegal to.

Doesn't it also make it so if we legally buy movies we can't translate
it to IPODS as well...so thats illegal?
