Good news for Canadian Filesharers--better than expected Oh Canada! The CRIA tried suing 29 filesharers, the ISP's resisted turning over the 29 names, and a judge with experience in technological and international commercial relations has ruled against them today. Search Google News for "Finckenstein CRIA" for lots more. And---take a look at a really decent forum that deserves all the donations they get for their part in informing this decision: http://www.canfli.org/index.php What really ****** me is that the CRIA sounds contemptuous in insisting that what we are doing is illegal.

Hymne Québécois: Gens du pays, c'est votre tour De vous laisser parler d'amour. -Gilles Vigneault RIAA and CRIAA are the same thing with the same goal: make cash in the end, even if they aren't doing it the right way. They remind me of 50% of Americans (Bush supporters): the world is not enough!:rolleyes: FACTS: -cd sold are at the same level as the napster era -the artists still do a ridiculous % of the sale -a few artists make 50% of the cd sales -home recording of a cd is now affordable to people (with the evolution of computers and software) -producing cd with case and cover is available to anybody -gathering a supporter base can be done for much less with internet and mouth to mouth (shows too!) YET: -we pay taxes for every media (cd-r, harddisks, MP3 player) that go to the record companies!!! -they are sueing people -they spread FUD to the population (try to tell someone with little P2P knowledge you are not affecting the artist by dling some of his files -that if you like, you might buy his cds-) -without P2P I would not have bought many CDs of artists that I begin to love after dling their mp3s -They don't understand the utility of P2P as a marketing tool (it's easy to do stats and trends of popularity by looking at what P2Pers love and download). -P2P is great to cut bandwidth expenses as a company olala, CRIAA and RIAA are shameful mongols. |
So true. Here's my favourite part of Judge Finckenstein's ruling Quote:
