Canadian High Court Says ISPs Don't Owe Royalties
canwaf writes "According to the CBC, and the other guys: In a 9-0 decision, Canada's highest court ruled, despite the fact that ISPs provide the means for piracy, they are not liable for what people download. They continue in their decision that Internet access providers are not bound by federal copyright legislation. Coupled with an earlier story on Slashdot, this is a very good thing." Edward Scissorhands was one of many readers to link to the Globe and Mail's article, too.
Hey, it's 'for all INTENTS AND PURPOSES', fucknozzle. Lurn tuh speel, m'kay?
But how can I sell you shit, when you know its shit?

Wouldn't be a big deal normally, but they could have greater influence in a minority gov't. Lets hope they focus on things they understand, like health care.
Yes, but Paul Martin announced that he could do without a formal coalition.
One supports the other. If a movie/song is terrible, I delete it. If it's good, I buy it, and often, other movies/songs by the same artists. If you track my spending habits, my downloading is directly linked to my spending. I'm the same way with books, I hit the library and if I read something I know I want to read again, I buy it.
That's what borrowing from your friends is for. Where do you find out about these movies, songs, and books, if not from your friends?
*cough* Lower crime rate? Right...just take a few more tokes.
Figure it out yourself, and you get to see that all of Canada's major cities would rank in America's top 20 most Dangrous cities to live in.
Enjoy, and leave the 'you have the right to defend yourself' south of the border. Liberal propaganda is a wonderful thing...
Om, nomnomnom...
