First, Happy Canada day to all. Second........we are now going to become a police state. Does anyone know the status of the new copyright legislation? I know that about a week and a half ago it passed the first round in the House of Commons. Then I heard (not reliable source) that it passed June 12/08. Basically the legislation will stop EVERYTHING that can be done as far as downloading is concerned. You won't even legally be able to rip your own cds to mp3. You won't be able to share anything with your friends. It covers everything from print, audio, vidio in any form. And the scary part is that if you are in a p2p situation you could be fined 20.000 dollars, Plus an extra 500 dollar fine. Yesterday I was under the impression that we would be safe until the fall. I simply don't know now. I have searched the net and there is no up to date info. If anyone knows anything please let me know soon. What does everybody do out of canada? Is file sharing legal? This is extremely important to anyone out there downloading. Let's share information. If this does go through, I would like to develop a mass protest. I just need to know if the law is passed or still in the process......and when it may pass.....................thanks all..........TheLeonardo
