The Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic of the University of Ottawa Faculty of Law has released Digital Rights Management and Consumer Privacy: An Assessment of DRM Applications under Canadian Privacy Law.
Here's an excerpt from the report's "Executive Summary":
This report confirms that DRM is currently being used in the Canadian marketplace in ways that violate Canadian privacy laws.
