I think one of the problems is Canada's lax Copyright laws. If I understand it right, right now a Canadian is allowed to strip the DRM and make copies (not to sell, but I'm a little fuzzy on on sharing, it's wrong of course, but I'm not too sure on actual legal ramifications) for a backup. In the US stripping the DRM is illegal. The publishers don't have a choke hold over their costumers and it irritates them.
Funny how they punish countries for crimes they didn't have a chance to commit.
