Canadian pirates will get notices from ISPs from January

All this nonsense as a result from pressure from the US and its companies like RIAA, MPAA, etc.

I live in the US......Chicago of all places; the most corrupt area in the world.



Why doesn't Canada just tell the US to go F THEMSELVES and manage their affairs accordingly on their own??

Pressure from within your own actors,movie,music guilds.Just like with our own here in NZ.I have yet to see proof of any of the claims made by the industries,to me its no different for any business theft & such like is all part of doing business you roughly factor in the cost to whatever it is your selling,even i get ripped off at times tho not often.

That's an interesting proposition.

But bear in mind that this new thing is only to be used as a deterrent. Its like having a speed trap on the highway that only takes pictures of your car and sends it to you without actually issuing a ticket. Its not a real deterrent.

IN CANADA A PORTION OF SELLS OF BLANK CD'S AND DVD'S IS GIVEN TO COPY WRITE OWNERS. THIS BEGAN ABOUT FIVE YEARS AGO. THAT IS WHY THIS IS NOT A CRIMINAL CRIME, BUT A CIVIL MATTER IN CANADA. YOU CAN STILL BE SUED, BUT NEVER HAS THERE BEEN ONE. ROGERS HAS BEEN SENDING SUCH NOTES TO CUSTOMERS FOR YEARS. BEST ADVISE IS NOT TO REPLY TO MESSAGE AS IT IS A ADMISSION OF GUILT.

Yeah i think you'll find the surcharge is universal,personally i think the practice is a crock

Using cd's for your music is weird in this day & age & what a pain they are to change in a cd player regardless if using a multi disc changer or not;jeez i even bought a vehicle cd player that had usb ports for the very same reason i didn't want to stuff around with cd's

*thinking aloud & rhetorical* > do house stereos now have usb ports

oh no! There going to notice me, What ever shall i do?
