    You read as bad as I write !

    The part of the criminal code you cite does not event applies to the personal backup situation as :
    1-> A copie is just that a copie, it is not :

      (a) obtains, directly or indirectly, any computer service
      (b) by means of an electro-magnetic, acoustic, mechanical or other device,
      intercepts or causes to be intercepted, directly or indirectly, any function of a computer system,
     
    therefore 342.1 (1) is irrelevant.

    And the supreme court indirectly judge that 342.1 (1.1) is also irrelevant as making a backup is a lawful use of data.

    I won't VPN to my Alma-mater to Lexis-Nexis for you but if you have a lawful access to that database search for judgment referencing [2004] 1 S.C.R. 339, 2004 SCC 13, you will see the broadness of that judgment. Also remember that in a common law regime, judges are supposed to take under great consideration previous interpretation made by upper courts.

    I like the customization potential and the low cost that the generic PC provide to the experimented admins and power-users..

    Annecdote:
    I built an HTPC in a wodden case with spare part laying around my house. It is totally wife approved and it would be impossible to achieve that level of customization without jail-breaking an iThing. Spare parts, a licence I got at a random conf, XBMC, a few plugins I customized and a bunch of AutoIt scripts was all that was needed in the generic PC world.

    Cost :
    - 0$ as it was made of spare parts and spare woods...
    - a weekend to have it working perfectly to my wife taste
    Benefit:
    - hacking is fun when work is :meeting,telephone,meeting,Visio,meeting,IM,email, a snippet of code, goto meeting
    - an happy wife

    Breaking any type of "digital" lock on something, whether copyrighted or not, without the owners permission under Canadian law is illegal.

    Please cite the law as I will cite the a judgment CCH Canadian Ltd. v. Law Society of Upper Canada, [2004] 1 S.C.R. 339, 2004 SCC 13 :

    ...
    Under s. 29 of the Copyright Act, fair dealing for the purpose of research or private study does not infringe copyright. “Research” must be given a large and liberal interpretation in order to ensure that users’ rights are not unduly constrained, and is not limited to non-commercial or private contexts. Lawyers carrying on the business of law for profit are conducting research within the meaning of s. 29. The following factors help determine whether a dealing is fair: the purpose of the dealing, the character of the dealing, the amount of the dealing, the nature of the work, available alternatives to the dealing, and the effect of the dealing on the work. Here, the Law Society’s dealings with the publishers’ works through its custom photocopy service were research-based and fair. The access policy places appropriate limits on the type of copying that the Law Society will do. If a request does not appear to be for the purpose of research, criticism, review or private study, the copy will not be made. If a question arises as to whether the stated purpose is legitimate, the reference librarian will review the matter. The access policy limits the amount of work that will be copied, and the reference librarian reviews requests that exceed what might typically be considered reasonable and has the right to refuse to fulfill a request.

    The Law Society did not authorize copyright infringement by providing selfservice photocopiers for use by its patrons in the Great Library. While authorization can be inferred from acts that are less than direct and positive, a person does not authorize infringement by authorizing the mere use of equipment that could be used to infringe copyright. Courts should presume that a person who authorizes an activity does so only so far as it is in accordance with the law. This presumption may be rebutted if it is shown that a certain relationship or degree of control existed between the alleged authorizer and the persons who committed the copyright infringement. Here, there was no evidence that the copiers had been used in a manner that was not consistent with copyright law. Moreover, the Law Society’s posting of a notice warning that it will not be responsible for any copies made in infringement of copyright does not constitute an express acknowledgement that the copiers will be used in an illegal manner. Finally, even if there were evidence of the copiers having been used to infringe copyright, the Law Society lacks sufficient control over the Great Library’s patrons to permit the conclusion that it sanctioned, approved or countenanced the infringement. ...
     

    also there is another case in the lower court that used that judgment to allow personal backup so please cite the law you refer to

    25y of copyright and if the entity having the right dies or disappears before the end of the copyright , the copyright and it's royalties, fixed at their level before the right-holder disappearance time, belong to the government for 20y after that event. That way unless the gov is seriously corrupted beyond repair, the authors are compensated, no one has an incentive to murder them and we gradually get rid of those bratty estates.
