Re: RCMP tolerates piracy for personal use in Canada.
I'd take anything the mounties have to say these days with a grain of salt.
Although that it does make sense that they don't have the time or resources, but I wonder if they'll turn a blind eye to unsavoury practises from such groups as the CRIA (or whatever replaces it) |

| offspring, no, that's not quite true. A judge has struck down copyright cases related to sharing MUSIC files. That doesn't make downloading video or software legal at this time. Most people have assumed that if music is legal, then so is video and software. Moreover, it's only personal use from sharing that was permitted. You still can't sell, or broadcast material you've downloaded. That's definitely still a copyright violation. |
