No peer to peer sharing, and you should be good.

I actually thought this had gone into effect last summer.

It'll be fun trying to trigger this just for lols.
ALERT! yous a pirates!

 

[Chary]

Well, crap. Time to start stockpiling illegal files...

Baseless hysteria and kneejerk reactions? In my GBAtemp? It's more likely than you think.

Here's just one article on the subject. TL;DR - Yeah, the CAS is a bit of a pain in the butt. No, it is not the end of your freedoms; in fact, it actually has some nice benefits. If you're a pirate, more likely than not, you'll be able to keep your peg-leg and eye-patch.

But, you know, if the ineffectual petition/boycott bandwagon is more your thing, good luck with that.

most likely it wont be the end of "piracy" FAIR USE , but it still means they are obviously doing DPI and spying on your internet activity ,its the principal
they still havent gave up on CISPA , SOPA,PIPA ,ACTA and the rest of it

Should I be glad I live in Canada?

Or, you could just use newsgroups and not worry about any of it.

 

[Sicklyboy]

If you pirate in a way that makes it easy to get caught, you have no room to complain if you get caught.

Public trackers, direct downloads, etc.

Usenet ftw.

'Nuff said.

Or, you could just stop stealing shit...

 

[Devin]

Bleh. I started looking for a new private tracker today anyway.

They still might go after you if they think you're downloading an illegal file even if it's legit. Besides, I don't like those government goons tracing my every move.

 

[narutofan777]

yeah i thought this was suppose to happen in jan. 1st.

i don't really care about this piece of crap.

its not stealing its called FAIR USE , the contents comapnies have everyone brainwashed to think that fair use is "stealing" its fucking bullshit,
its not piracy unless you are making multiple copies and selling them for profit

FAIR USE

You keep using those words. I do not think they mean what you think they mean.

So it's just copyright infringement. So much better.
