"The lawsuit may come as a surprise to politicians and other observers accustomed to hearing that Canada does not have the legal tools to address online infringement, yet that perception has always been more myth than reality.

It has been the industry’s reluctance to wield those powers – not their absence – that may have allowed infringing websites to call Canada home."
