oh damn...
Nahh, most of our country still kicks american ass | |
|
| | | | | Re: Eh? said by r0x0rz:most of our country still kicks american ass Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't remember Canada kicking anyone's ass since Bendict Arnold.
I played in a hockey tournament in Toronto a few years ago, and there weren't any Canadians there. Everyone was Indian. I'm not exaggerating, pretty much everyone. | |

Since Videotron is primarily Quebec, they may have issues translating  and it will be an extra charge and business for the lawyers and cable companies to make $$$ | |

Yes, four other major ISPs (Bell, Telus, Rogers and Shaw) all won in court fighting to protect subscriber information. My own ISP, Cogeco, has stated that they will not provide any customer information without a court order. Not only is Videotron utterly stupid, but they're opening the door to lawsuits by subscribers for violation of Canadian privacy law.

Valley Stream, NY | WTF That's nice, really nice. So can I go to them and ask for subsriber information too? I think one of their customers has my copyrighted file (boot.ini) so I want to send them "subpoena" (spam) or fine them (steal identity).
Protecting culture? my ass
All they care about is good "business relations".
That's why I love my Verizon.

kudos:2 | Damn...AOL is Looking Good Now! Well, hope anyone who's looking for actual privacy need not look towards an account with Videotron. If they're giving out customer information out freely, (even if it's to bust pirates) then who knows who else they'd give out your information to! | |

Bradenton, FL | Guilty until proven innocent He gives a new name to being a lawyer, guilty until proven innocent. He don't care about the average joe, he is a corporate lawyer. His sole job is to protect the company at all costs. He proves that by the way he talks. He like every other corporate lawyer are the ones who make these outragous EULA's, where the customer is left high and dry. | |

| Ummm.... this is Canada. This is Canadian folks. Up here in Canada it's not illegal to download but to upload. This was taken to the supreme court, and they ruled that it is not illegal to download but to share. DO NOT SHARE and there is not a problem. Leech all you want Videotron subscribers!

| Re: Ummm.... this is Canada. Don't forget Dan, that this is also Quebec land of the language police. Part of the ego-centric Canadian culture identity crisis where anything that's close to "American" is bad, and protecting Canadian culture is good.

kudos:1 | Extent of Quebecor Media Just so people here know where Videotron stands in the corporate layout. Québecor owns among other things:
- Le Journal de Montréal (tabloid newspaper)
- Archambault (chain of CD, DVD and book stores)
- TVA (TV station and DVD distributor)
- Many weekly magazines
- Vidéotron (cable and Internet provider, and video rental outlets)
- Seven publishing companies
- Quebecor World (printing plants)
Seeing how movies and music fit in their corporate structure, is it any wonder Vidéotron will squeal like the little pigs that they are? | |
