Piracy Case Could Change Canadian Web Landscape

meatheadmike writes to tell us that a recent Canadian court case brought against the Canadian Recording Industry Association by isoHunt Web Technologies, Inc, could drastically change the web landscape in Canada. "The question before the British Columbia Supreme Court is if a site such as isoHunt allows people to find a pirated copy of movies such as Watchmen or The Dark Knight, is it breaching Canadian copyright law? 'It's a huge can of worms," said David Fewer, acting director of the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic at the University of Ottawa. 'I am surprised that this litigation has gone under the radar as much as it has. I do think this is the most important copyright litigation going on right now.'"

If It's In Canada...

I do think this is the most important copyright litigation going on right now.

If it's in Canada, how could that possibly be true? :^)

Can you conclusively show that none of those British soldiers or their descendants settled in Canada?

I suspect you can't. Therefore your closing sentence is invalid.
