I would also say that it's cute, but these dumb f00ks are passing legislation left, right, and centre. If it only affected their countries, it'd be fine. However, the b@st@rds then put pressure on our government and the pu$$ies almost always bow in to them.

The DRM in the U.S. actually makes it illegal for you to listen to your own radio and now their introducing legislation that goes directly against the conclusions reached in the 1982 case with cassettes. Feckers. :evil:

I think I missed this, but it's pretty important:

Downloading music in Canada = legal
Uploading music in Canada = grey area, but most likely illegal


Summary:

Only use newsgroups/IRC if you're really worried.

I dunno if he'd have a legal leg to stand on in this case. Be a tough call.
