Maybe I'm reading this legislation the wrong way, but it looks like if I remove DRM from my personal files, I won't be in compliance with the law, but no criminal charges can be filed nor statutory damages awarded. Under Canadian civil law, to receive further damages, they would have to prove harm, and no court would be likely to decide in their favour. There are no further provisions to stop me from doing so.
Accordingly, I see no reason to stop removing the DRM from content I legally own.
