URGENT MESSAGE TO CANADIANS

[Hadrian]

And its not the end of the world

Yes it is, it's the end of out digital freedoms. All Canadian members here at at legal risk if this goes through. You try and ship in a flash cart? You're fined, or worse.

Isn't the law already like that in the USA? And aren't people able to get flash carts there?

I think it is like the UK, you can own one, import one, buy one but you can't sell one.

 

[fischju]

The US does not have any laws like that - RealHotStuff is based in the US.

 

[Maktub]

Allow me to lawl at these laws.

 

[Anakir]

Wtf? That's just retarded. Luckily, where I live in Canada, is packed with asians where they purposely hack and modify.. I got a feeling they're going to get raided by the police one day though. Wow that would suck ass.

I hope it doesn't get passed. That means if they check what I'm buying online through the mail.. I'm pretty much screwed.

 

[0xyG3N]

Just get an fucking proxy and your fine with that

 

[Ace Gunman]

That's odd. They didn't announce this until today? o.O

They've been keeping it quiet and leaving the Canadian people completely out of the loop. Hell, they've been taking advice from the American lobby groups. The same ones that make absolutely awful thing like the RIAA a reality.

 

[Mangofett]

I sent one this mornin' cuz Kicktrading told me to

I hope they don't check IPs... or the fact that my name isnt actually Gary Coleman

 

[ryuhosuke]

this will be a huge blow if no one does this... I already did....

then there are some countries that practise selective enforcement; some laws are there but not actually there

 

[Westside]

WTF? Is this going to affect me coming to GBAtemp? I don't pirate, I'm just here for the community.

 

[0xyG3N]

Everyone who have used this board gets a fine of 500$

Umm . . . yeah me too

 

[ItsMetaKnight]

Oh, finally some countries start doing something about all the illegal stuff.
I hope more countries join them, so we'll have more games. Also, prices will be lower! Yay!!

 

[fristi]

And its not the end of the world

[Ace Gunman]

Well it could, yes, because the community could be damaged by this. To any and all Canadians, you must speak up! Our time is now. We may not get another chance.

 

[0xyG3N]

WERE ALL GOING TO DIE PEOPLE!

 

[solange82200]

This is crap, I can't believe this. So even if we don't live in Canada, it will be harder for us to order flashcarts? Are most of the sellers in Canada? And how exactly will it affect this forum? I'd really like to know more about this, I'm very worried, I love GBA Temp

 

[Westside]

We need someone with very good writing talents and the ability to bring up very good points that you can't even argue with. I'm sure there are some here on this site who can do that and help us Canadians.

Can I do anything?

 

[solange82200]

Are you serious ItsMetaKnight? You are actually happy about this?
