check this out: file-sharing is still very much legal in Canada. while i knew about the first ruling from march [ "The ruling is under appeal and in the meanwhile, as we reported on June 30, Canada's Supreme Court has decided unanimously that ISPs are "intermediaries" who aren't bound by Canadian copyright legislation" ], the second one got absolutely no buzz but is definitely a bit newsworthy (as well as the 'third' one caused by our vote in the federal elections last thursday). check them out and then skip over to the last couple of paragraphs for a look at our new government's views on the matter. here's a hint: it ain't changing for at least the next four years :) our Supreme Court rocks.
