| New Canadian Bittorrent lawsuit: Who shared "Recoil"? Canadian BitTorrent Users Targeted for the First Time by Canadian Studio
»copyrightenforcement.ca/canadian···-studio/
Yesterday morning, the Federal Court in Montreal ordered the disclosure of the names and addresses of approximately 50 individuals who alleged illegally copied and distributed copyrighted materials belonging to Canadian Film Producer, NGN Prima Productions.
This is the first time a Canadian studio has sought damages in a Canadian court against Canadian BitTorrent users.

As written, the order will compel Canadian ISPs to release identifying information for the customers associated with the infringing IP addresses. ... continues...
Anyone have the 50 IP's in question?
In addition, this Canadian studio has launched lawsuits in both Boston and Florida.

This now marks the first time a Canadian company is pulling American tactics. |

Folks are going to find out that the law passed earlier has a lot more effects than thought. |

These ISP's seem to be the source of the 50-IP's being sued.
1. 3 Web Corp., (Same as distributel)
2. Access Communications Co-Operative Limited, (Never heard of them)
3. ACN Inc.,
4. Distributel Communications Ltd.
Anyone have all the info on what went down and how the above companies may or may not have tried to protect their customers rights?
Someone have the proper court records? Or can get them? |

The new paradigm for movie studios small and large, foreign and domestic.
1. Make a shit movie.
2. Lower marketing and distribution budget to $0
3. Set up honey pots by uploading their own torrent.
4. Sue unsuspecting users based on an IP address that can be spoofed with trivial knowledge and tools.

Dear NGN Prima Productions,
Thank you for your letter. I have investigated and found that my wifi was open and thus anyone could have used my internet connection (and thus my IP address) without my knowledge to download the file you have mentioned. I have added a password to my router and do not expect this to happen again. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. For the above reason, I will be unable to provide you with the settlement you have requested.
Sincerely,
Alleged Pirate. |

Funny they set up Honey Pots. Clearly if the companies themselves are caught by forging fake materials then that's false advertising and we should sue them based on not pirating the proper materials we wanted. |

Shouldn't they be happy that 50 people have at least heard of their shitty movie? I mean, it is a movie, right?  |

No clue.
I only ever heard of hurt locker when they started suing Canadians, » Hurt Locker P2P Lawsuit Comes to Canada
So maybe it's all a marketing ploy? Sue as many people as possible to get your movie known so you can make sales?
Possible 
Wouldn't surprise me either |

NGN Prima Productions will be laughed at by the judicial system when they're made aware of the Canada's prehistoric and draconian bit caps. The judge will get a good laugh anyway. |

The data was collected in September and October, but didn't C-11 come into effect on November 7th? |

C-11 has no baring on this, other than new minimum "damages". People could always have been sued. |

Company collects data on millions of illegal downloaders in first step to crack down on piracy in Canada
»www.vancouversun.com/technology/···ory.html
Case marks beginning of crackdown on Internet piracy in Canada
The company collecting info on Millions of Canadians is called Canipre. Operated out of Montreal for the entertainment cartels and those who hold Entertainment rights in Canada (Bell, Rogers, Cogeco Videotron etc) "to maximize their revenue streams and market opportunities".
Canipre also recently opened "an end user remediation system". Which I guess means that they will allow you to settle a claim... say for 5000$ instead of you wasting money going to court costing you tens of thousands. So now you can just pay them instead and they will keep a cut for grabbing your IP and what you do on the net and holding you ransom to their blackmail.
How quaint.
So millions of Canadians are in their system now.
Funny how I see nothing on Geist about this... Or nothing from PrivCom about this business model of blackmailing someone based on an IP which may not even be correct. ...So much for them.
Kind of sad how the content providers themselves in Canada are also the ones also holding your IP address, eh. |

| If they have around 1 million distinct IP addresses record, then 1 out of 30 person in Canada can be sued/ransomed.
Stats Can average Canadian household size is around 2.5 which means it is about 1 in 12 households!

So next time when there is someone knocking the door with a big envelope at the door, it is more likely to be a lawyer than someone from publishers clearing house. |
