The premise being put forward by the government is that if you have a problem with the digital locks, go to the market. I mean...talking with young people, good luck calling Sony when you've bought a product and you can't use it. I don't know if their 1-800 number has ever...or even if they have one. So you don't really have an option.
If they don't like it, I find what young people do is just download it. They will go to a legal market, or if they're denied, they'll go to the other market. We're always using that word “balance”, but what concerns me about this bill is that they're guaranteeing consumer rights and they're guaranteeing individual rights in law, but citizens are not necessarily able to access those rights.
I know there has been some discussion about the constitutionality of these provisions. I think Professor de Beer, one of your colleagues, has written about it. Do you believe that if we legislate rights and then citizens are not able to access them that would face a constitutional court challenge?
