Re: Blog: Recent Developments in Canadian Copyright Law thanks for this post.
piracy used to be mostly in 3rd world countries as most people living there can barely afford food, and everyone needs art/entertainment...and a way to get it...
piracy is here right now thanks to the new state of the `middle class` in our country.
as anything else, the governments once again chose to protect the `rights` of the big corporations.
spending millions of tax dollars to protect corporate profits instead of helping citizens make a decent wage -enough to help them pay and be ok with purchasing songs, movies, games etc. sad state of afairs. |

Tips:
- Don't seed torrents. As soon as you get your stuff, disconnect.
- Look into switching to newsgroups. You don't upload so the lawyers don't go after you. I pay $10 a month for unlimited. |

I guess it should be mentioned also that some people also swear by private torrent sites. I guess they feel they are less likely to get caught. |

So we don't get 3 strikes like the states? We go straight to court? |

Does anyone know when the new laws go into effect? |

Burlington, ON | I used to be on Cogeco and they would just pass on the infringement MSG. I am assuming this will be the case here.
I was curious about Number 2. How will you notify us that somebody has gotten a court order against our account? Will it be the same as Number 1
Mark I was also curious how Teksavvy use to handle infringement notifications? Where these drop in the past? |

1) Props to TSI for sending out an email to everyone, and one in plain english so everyone understands TSI's position and knows their rights.
2) Another props to TSI for taking the stance they have (privacy over corporate interests) and yet again reminding me of why I recommend TSI over Rogers/Bell/etc every time 
3) Everyone please keep in mind bittorrent is merely a neutral technology, and a perfectly legal and useful one at that. It saves distribution and bandwidth costs and can even be used to legally download "backup" copies of media you already own. +1 for BT!
I hope TSI's stance doesn't change in the future and while the big 3 might not value my privacy, I certainly do and I'm glad TSI does as well.

It doesn't make you 100% safe, but it does in fact lessen the chances.
A common way of catching downloaders is for the copyright holder to join the torrent, logging the IP of all clients that connect to them. When your torrent client connects to this seed, they log your IP, and you're caught.
Thus, public torrents are much more susceptible to this kind of tracking than a private torrent site, especially one which only allows registrations by invitation. |

What about downloads from sites such as rapidshare? |

The files have to be downloaded somehow. They don't magically appear on the USB key. |

With recent changes to RapidShare it'll have a huge impact on the kind of content you would express concern over. |
