1 edit | Re: Also a long discussion of this in Canadian forum at BBR Ah, but there are a few little things that make that 500 dollars limit useless.
1) Most music downloaded (the most likely source of the infringements) are likely the result of bypassing some form of copyright lock (Most CDs after 2002). In that case, the penalty is increased to 20,000 dollars per infringement as the infringement now falls under a different section of the act and 21.1 no longer applies.
2) Ripping anything to a device that bypass a holders lock is subject to the same 20,000 dollars fine.
500 Dollars? right. |
