lol, my business teacher told me that downloading stuff is totally legal in Canada, as long as you don't redistribute it...

I think this is the law that makes that untrue now?

EDIT:

I meant in addition to all the other stuff

according to a representative from the CCER
Just out of curiosity: Could you please explain what the CCER exactly is, having a "representative"? The web site doesn't state anything about the CCER itself or its intents and purposes. The only information it features a very short "memebers" list of five modchip sellers.
Well, its intent is fairly straightforward: to fight this legislation. As for its members, that list is the majority coalition (to my knowledge) though it expands into other areas as well. I'm fairly new to this so I don't know all of the details.
So if one was malicious, one would say it's a bunch of modchip sellers under a fancy name, looking to protect their businesses?

Of course, on one level that's true. I've made it fairly clear this is all mutually beneficial, this legislation hurts all of us. It hurts this community, it hurts the retailers, it hurts the general Canadian public as it practically outlaws all downloading. It's just a huge deal on every level. So it's in all of our best interests to stop this from happening.

You guys are lucky for that to be legal (or at least a little less inforced).

Here in the US they're all crazy about copyright laws.
