legal in Canada (maybe)

Re the legality of downloading copyright material, it looks like it's OK to download but not upload in Canada. Apparently several years ago we put a tax on CD's so that downloads were 'paid for' just like radio broadcasts.

Needless to say, this law is untested as far as I know, and could well change, just as it has in Europe and elsewhere.
