I think the practical reality is that these are not people who are necessarily more likely to commit crimes, or the like. I just don't see any kind of evidence for that at all.
I do think there are some people whose respect for certain sorts of laws have diminished. Let's take intellectual property, for example. But I would argue that much of the lack of respect has come from the industry itself, which has failed to respect the customers.
The person who buys a DVD while on vacation in Europe and brings it back to play on their DVD player finds that it will not play because it is locked down. The honest consumer buying a legitimate product finds that the industry is stopping them from playing it. The honest consumer who goes out and buys a song from some of the online music services and then tries to play it on their iPod finds it's not interoperable and won't play. The honest consumer who wants to use the DVD to make a parody and take a portion of it finds that the content is locked down. So even though our legislation might well have things like fair use or fair dealing to permit that, they're not permitted to do so.
If we're going to talk about lack of respect, I think it's a two-way street here. In many of these areas there has been a lack of respect for the customer. When we talk about embarrassment and embarrassment of laws, I run into many people who are deeply embarrassed that Canada doesn't have a parody exception that would allow them to speak out. It doesn't have fair use in the way the U.S. does. So there's plenty of embarrassment to go around, if we want to talk about where our laws could get to in addressing all the concerns of Canadians.
