You are safe from RIAA (or any alternative) in Canada! Copy away!

I saw this on BUF earlier, and then there was an aritcle about how it's not true after all; and the EU is about to introduce new copyright laws. But hey, the major targets are the top-uploaders, so as long as there are enough "supernodes" in Canada we're fine!

the copyright laws are irrelevant in the EU i think since its illegal for an ISP to hand over customers details to a civillian organisation such as the RIAA.. so bascially any obtained IP's are useless. or so ive heard anyways. and i cant see them going to the court with an IP saying "this criminal should be on trial!" with nothing other than a number

j00 bastard! I have hardly any shares, only current and recent downloads, and I got a 1:3 down/up ratio.


PS: It got better, about 4:5 the last days, 3.4GB downloaded over the last seven days

I think the music industry has lost a very important race. They did not invest on virtual music delivery mechanisms - what the industry is doing now is to try to compensate their lost time with the so called "supernodes".

I would estimate that in 5 years time it is very natural to watch movies using internet as the media instead of using the radio-wave alternative not to talk about expensive cable thingies. Ofcourse the broadband technology needed for this is not available everywhere at once but I see it coming - and it comes FAST. Hopefully the film industry is prepared for this better than it was prepared with the gaming industry. People spend more money on video games than movies.

This copyright issue has got very funny expressions here in Finland. The local RIAA forced the TAXI drivers to pay a fee because they were playing music through the radio... The fee is not big but IMO it indicates hilariously the desperation of the RIAA people. They can crunch a few rats but there is nothing they can do to stop a huge pile of ants.

Good Old Canada :tup:

Even if our primeminister is an old fruitcake guy, we still know the score on stealing music, bikes and muffins from the mall. Dont ask

coffeeright rules make me sad.
