Canadian Music Swappers Win Court Battle

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the carry-on dept.

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."

    Please... all "we're better fighters!" stuff aside, the concept of an undermilitarized nation with 1/10th the population and GDP conquering an overmilizarized nation that has been preparing for World War III for the past half century isn't realistic at all.

    Of course, if Bush stood up tomorrow and declared "We're going to war with Canada!", millions of American liberals would become instant spies. But, sadly, I don't think it'd help too much.
