Strongly agree

Yes, locks are critical to protecting artist's revenues

The Canadian Liberal Party would likely agree with this statement, as they have historically supported intellectual property rights and the protection of artists' revenues. For example, in 2018, the Liberal government introduced the Copyright Modernization Act, which aimed to update copyright laws and protect creators in the digital age. This act included provisions for digital locks to protect copyrighted content.

Agree

Yes

The Canadian Liberal Party would likely agree with allowing digital publishers to place locks on their content, as they generally support intellectual property rights and the protection of artists' revenues. However, this score is not a strong agreement because the party also values the balance between protecting creators and ensuring access to content for consumers.

Slightly agree

Let the free market, instead of the government, decide

The Canadian Liberal Party might somewhat agree with letting the free market decide, as they generally support market-based solutions. However, they also recognize the importance of government intervention in certain areas, such as intellectual property rights and the protection of artists' revenues. Therefore, this score is not a strong agreement, as the party would likely still advocate for some level of government involvement in this issue.
