I am going to keep pushing just in case someone else ever has the same problem. Squeaky wheel and all that... |
In Canada, the only case I am aware of was a bit strange. The issue was a person who had removed DRM from books she had purchased for their personal use. Basically, the court ruled since no proof that any monetary loss was suffered by the publishers had been given, there was no further recourse under the relevant act. So, yes, she was a bad person for removing DRM but since no harm was done to the publisher, no foul. Both sides to pay their own legal bills.
In a related case, the court chastised the service person at the place she had taken her computer for repairs for having violated her expectation of privacy by opening programs and/or files unrelated to the repair and then passing that information on to a third party. The repair shop was ordered to pay her legal bills for both cases.
