Just a little heads up to canadian board members here

The Canadian police announced that it will stop targeting people who download copyrighted material for personal use. Their priority will be to focus on organized crime and copyright theft that affects the health and safety of consumers instead of the cash flow of large corporations. Around the same time that the CRIA successfully took Demonoid offline, the Canadian police made clear that Demonoid’s users don’t have to worry about getting caught, at least not in Canada. According to the Canadian police it is impossible to track down everyone who downloads music or movies off the Internet. The police simply does not have the time nor the resources to go after filesharers. “Piracy for personal use is no longer targeted,” Noël St-Hilaire, head of copyright theft investigations of the Canadian police, said in an interview with Le Devoir. “It is too easy to copy these days and we do not know how to stop it,” he added.
St-Hilaire explained that they rather focus on crimes that actually hurt consumers such as copyright violations related to medicine and electrical appliances. A wise decision, especially since we now know that filesharing has absolutely no impact on music sales. On the contrary, a recent study found that the more music people download on P2P-networks, the more CDs they buy.

Canada hasn't really ever cared about piracy..we pay a small fee everytime we buy cdrs/dvdrs here..in order to payback for the piracy..at least that's what I have heard..not to mention alot of the uploaders of pirated content are from Canada cuz there ain't any reinforcement up here..just one of many reasons why it's good to live in Canada ;-p

The RIAA will get up there somehow and go after Canadians, too. They don't have shit else to do. Just watch and see.

This is the way it should be. Not everyone should get penalised for the fuckheads that bootleg shit and ruin stealing from artists for everyone.
