| Canada is just joining what is going on in the EU; Japan, & S.Korea. It isn't just the RIAA & MPAA. The music and movie industries in other countries are pushing for this too.

The House will fall long before this bill gets anywhere close to passing the House, let alone the Senate. This is like the fifth or sixth time various sessions of Parliament - the vast majority of them under Liberal leadership - have tried to introduce something along these lines. Parliament either gets prorogued or an election is conveniently called before it ever makes it out of committee.

So let me get this straight...
Basically,
It;s going to be illegal to download torrent movies and tv shows in Canada now? |
|
| No, it will be illegal to have media you can not prove you paid for.
And paid for.
And paid for.
And rented. |

I believe by this law they are going to cause a lot of public aggravation! 
So, what about all the music cds people bought a while ago, and don't have receipts to prove it?

| said by Reactance:So, what about all the music cds people bought a while ago, and don't have receipts to prove it? Then as far as they would be concerned, its illegal and you owe a lot more money than you originally paid.
What I would just love to have someone check is Mr. Prentices work and home PCs - y'know, just in case he has any kind of media he can't proves he purchased.
Mind you, he'd find a way to write off the fines as a 'business expense'.
As far as I'm concerned, any content downloaded could be deemed illegal by said owner at any time. Technically, your browsers cache could be viewed as a method of storage for images you do not own and may not have been given permission to download.
That sounds extreme, but it would be valid in a court of law, according to this new bill.
Don't be surprised of we eventually see down the road the whole idea of 'public domain' evapourate.
So - notice how there was no mention of the revocation of the media tax? |

Halifax, NS | I don't think anyone in their right mind wants to abolish the Senate. However I'm 100% for Senate reform and electing Senators. Kind of like what the US has... |

said by DKS:And now why did we want to abolish the Senate? I have never been in favour of abolishing the Senate. My preferred choice is a chamber chosen by the provinces (meaning the province can choose to appoint the Senators or have the voters in the province elect the Senators) with long 10-15 year terms that don't dissolve when the House falls and exist across several House of Commons elections. It would allow for a more democratic selection of Senators, while still preserving the aspect of non-partisan sober second thought.

The article says these proposed "laws" and consequences are part of an international trade agreement which doesn't require parliamentary approval.

The article says these proposed "laws" and consequences are part of an international trade agreement which doesn't require parliamentary approval. Anything that inflicts penalties inside Canada requires an act of parliament. This was ruled on by the Supreme Court back in the 80s. They could technically get you for international trade without an act of parliament and merely on regulations or an OC, but that's a different issue all together.
