sharing music..

is it legal ?.. apperantly here in canada it is O_o
"Canadian record labels had asked the court for authorization to identify 29 alleged file swappers in that country, in preparation for suing them for copyright infringement, much as the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has sued more than 1500 people in America.

although, here in canada we also pay a levy on blank media, because they just
assume that well do something illegal with it anyway.

but I feel safer knowing that our ISP's won't violating my freedom to privacy.
I'll probably just have some nerd hired by the RIAA hax0r my computer instead :/

Now I want your medicine AND music.

I still don't understand how putting file in a shared folder for everyone to download is not considered has distribution...

Yet these judge areoften old people with little understanding of technologie... Like the one who don't give big sentence to script kiddies since they think they are smart and could use their talent...

Now I want your medicine AND music.

You would not say this if you would see how much tax we pay ;)

Yeah man good old canada, you got cheap medecine and now free music, if it wasent so cold it would be perfect, bit trust me they will appeal and fight all the way to get their way(music industry) they claim they suffering, just because they dont make all those millions in profit no more, they still get rich off evry artist they use, so they should stop complaining.

but here in Nova Scotia, we also have 15% tax.. yay~!
