Hi Friends,
I read in news paper of new copy right law being in effect in CANADA.,
Can any CD friend translate its effect on our daily lives, where we have to guard for?, taking care not to violate some laws, in ignorance.

‘The door is closing’: Company starts collecting data on illegal downloaders in Canada

If you’re watching an illegally downloaded movie, someone could be watching you.

A forensic software company has collected files on a million Canadians who it says have downloaded pirated content.

I assume it is only for streaming and downloading illegally - may not apply to the famous $1.00 illegal DVD supplier in GTA.
Anyways, like the immigration/deportation scam - expect telephones from scamers to tell you that they have identified you as one of the illegal down loader and an arrest warrant has been issued - contact the following lawyer immediately to avoid going to jail......

THATS A WHOLE LOT OF URPEES... 50,000 of them....


" "b) Copyright infringement: Criminal offence under the copyright law : Any person who knowingly infringes or abets the infringement of the copyright in any work commits criminal offence under Section 63 of the Copyright Act.

The minimum punishment for infringement of copyright is imprisonment for six months with the minimum fine of Rs. 50,000/-. In the case of a second and subsequent conviction the minimum punishment is imprisonment for one year and fine of Rs. one lakh.

Any police officer, not below the rank of a sub inspector, may, if he is satisfied that an offence in respect of the infringement of copyright in any work has been, is being, or is likely to be committed, seize without warrant, all copies of the work and all plates used for the purpose of making infringing copies of the work, wherever found, and all copies and plates so seized shall, as soon as practicable be produced before a magistrate. ""

They must be still looking for the 'plates'. AND The pan walla is shaking in his boots. The last time I saw, he was wearing a white 'Topi', a nine yard dhoti, tucked in his lower back and wore a pair of chappals. His smile was big, from ear to ear.

Very Enterprising guy and he said, every time he gets out of jail and passes the "GO", he gets two hundred bucks. This must be real life MONOPOLY game.
