His response to the bill C-61 was pretty much word for word the same. "The free markets will decide if DRM gets used or not"

The problem with "free markets" as implemented IRL is that they are not pro-actively rational.


What we have now is market anarchy regulated (or not) through post-factum lawsuits or criminal investigation.

The fallout of all this for society is this is that we will have DRM whether the market wants it or not because market actors will collude to ensure there is no deviance.

Further, lawsuits and/or criminal investigation will be inhibited by lobbying and, regardless, DRM will be a fact on the ground by that point anyway.
