Now see! The Mounties have given up cuz they realized it's a futile effort. Now if only the RIAA would do the same. :P

What mounties? When was this happening? Never? Oh yeah.

I totally agree Peanut. I can't recall a solitary instance up here where
anyone has been busted for file sharing even en masse.

I've heard filesharing is legal up here anyway, due to a loophole in the current Canadian laws. No?

If it wasn't so damn cold up their most of the year, I'd think of moving. I seriously would.

Well, a supreme court judge saw no difference between file sharing and say borrowing a book in the library, or something a long those lines. It boils down to fair usage.

The other point is we in Canada pay a tariff on blank media such as CD-Rs, and a tariff on MP3 players. This is compensation in lieu of the file sharing.

I don't use file sharing myself though because of the spyware and malware that comes bundled with P2P programs.

Are you retarded? It's not colder in most of Canada then anywhere else. I mean, here in Toronto we get better weather than a ton of the norther States. And guess what? We don't have f*cking 10 month winters or some sh*t. Ours is the exact same as winter anywhere else.

I think the problem is some people think that Canada is the same temperature across the whole land. Southern Ontario is actually on the same parallel as our friends in Michigan and New York, and we get very similar winter conditions. The really cold weather is in Winnipeg, Manitoba where -22°F is a normal winter day and up in the Territories to the north even colder.

Canada scores again.

OOOH YEAH!!!!
