Piracy = copyright infringement, civil law.
Theft = Bad because of loss of property.
Piracy = Bad because of lack of respect for limiting rights.
US law even says you're wrong, so stop trolling.

Something tells me he typed all that crap just because I said not to
First off I am Canadian, and quoting the US understanding of the matter, well it means precisely nothing to an non American. I couldn't care less what the US legal system has to say about anything on any matter of law regarding anything whatsoever. Not relevant, I am a Canadian.
look at my flag, i'm not having troubles... regarding being sued. just pissed at someone saying something is shit and useless knowing it'll offend people...Panzer Tacticer said:What? annoyed that the Canadian is laughing at your troubles
Land of the free, my ass
Home of the brave? Hardly, have you seen the levels of paranoid fear the way we on the outside perceive it?
Fortunately a lot of what is great out there on the market was not made or sold from the US.
I download and I don't care. But I live in a REAL free nation, unlike the United Sue me of America. So whatever they wish to do to anyone THERE means nothing to me HERE.
Prove it. I'm serious. I want to see actual factual proof that piracy is no big deal. And don't use the claim that it's just copying. That point is moot.
You know the post you're quoting was written more than three months before C11's first reading, and more than a year before it was passed? At the time of his post he was correct. I really don't see the point of dragging up posts from nearly a year and a half ago just to go on a political tirade.As a fellow Canadian, I wish you were right. Unfortunately for us however, you couldn't be further from the truth..
In 2011, a controversial bill (C-11) was passed in the Canadian Parliament known as the Canadian Copyright Modernization Act which stripped you and all of us of our comfy protections afforded to us by our previously outdated copyright act.. This is now history and to enforce this fact, here are some interesting cases for you, based on this act:
I'm afraid we are indeed in the same boat as our American neighbours. It's important to remember that historically, Canada has always followed suit when the U.S went on legal offensives. Always.. Even before this act, Canada was shamefully guilty of extraditing Canadians (Maher Arar, anyone?) to the U.S to face U.S-based charges (That later turned out to be completely false, predicated on racial profiling.)
- In 2011, a Canadian was fine $60,000 by a U.S court for piracy.
- In 2012, in fact last week a BC court in Burnaby successfully prosecuted a group of 50 Canadians for copyright infringement, for their use of the Torrent protocol for downloading (Admittedly crappy..) movies.
- The same company that identified and levied that Burnaby lawsuit claims they have collected "files" on over 1 million Canadians (Article also references previous Burnaby lawsuits) and they are actively planning their legal assault on them in the coming months.
You know the post you're quoting was written more than three months before C11's first reading, and more than a year before it was passed? At the time of his post he was correct.
Also, despite your claim that you're a Canadian your flag is set to Germany. Am I to take this as a not-so-subtle statement of opinion against copyright Nazis?
