Canadian Music Swappers Win Court Battle

Columbo writes "The CBC has an article today detailing a win for file sharers in Canadian courts. The ruling upheld the right of ISPs to withhold the names and addresses of people alleged to be trading copious amounts of music via P2P networks. The unanimous decision doesn't completely close the door for further action against the ISPs by the Canadian Recording Industry Association."

Petition for Users' Rights

[Anonymous Coward]

The Canadian government is planning on changing copyright law to take away many of our rights (luckily, the current minority government probably won't manage to do this).

This petition "is a way of letting Parliament know that you want to be considered and that you don't want your rights to be abraded every time the music industry's profits slip a little." Please sign it if you're Canadian and agree with it.

Yes but More than half of the British forces was made up of Canadian militia. I'd say that means Canadians burned it down in 1814.
