So... one judges ruling does not 'make it legal' (and doesn't address the Tax issue)
This whole article uses the word 'appeared' quite often

you need to go back to grade school because your reading and comprehension level is quite low.

copyright board rules that downloading from a "peer to peer network" was recognized as "Private copying is the subject of Part VIII of Canada's Copyright Act"
Quote:

In Canada, private copying is legal and does not infringe copyright. It is because, in exchange, copyright holders in recorded music have a right to receive compensation in the form of royalties for private copying.

CRIA appealed that ruling to the supreme court and lost.
this judge ruled that uploading based on that ruling
however since i repeatedly said (including in this thread)
Quote:

if uploading can be declared legal their would be no liablity for copyright infringement for content covered by the tax.
|
your "maybe" stuff is not incompatible with what i said.
Even so this ruling is currently the highest court ruling on the issue, until it is over turned by a higher court it is in fact how the law is interpreted on the issue. downloading is legal (unrefutably) and uploading is legal (for now).

pay close attention to this section
E-Z version from Wikipedia
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_copyright_law
there is nowhere in the LAW that states filesharing is legal (not even 'apparently')
make NO mistake - the judge disallowed the 'attempt to get ISP personal info on suspected infringers' because of PRIVACY issues - not on the merit of the attempt, or lack of merit, and privacy laws in canada are tough to get around.
the judge did NOT make filesharing 'apparently' legal - it stopped an attempt to get personal information
when it finally comes down to 'The Law' after personal identifying info is given up, the bastard theives will go down in flames
and yes... I have read every single bit of what I have linked
and I'll take my interpretations from places OTHER than cNet
I think maybe you should be a little ashamed at YOUR lack of Canadian knowledge
(  ... cNet.com ... )
tell me again how clueless "I" am...

it helps when you read the entire act instead of just the part that defines what a copyright is.
Little hint fair use is not in the copyright definition part either
but it is in the act
IDIOT
do you believe that canada has year round snow
and we all live in igloos and eat whale blubber.
like the stupidest of americans too.
