It has little to do with conservative or liberal in Canada; it has more to do with consumer protection laws that have meaning and the judiciary not being as policiticized. We highly value our courts not being swayed by the elected government; we expect them to uphold the laws and even go against the government where the values of the people are concerned.

In a democracy, the laws should reflect the values of the majority, should they not?

Are you kidding? We have paid for it for years, with over-priced CD’s and DVD’s Artists making pennies on the dollars that the industry is making? The only one who wins is the Recording Giants, don’t kid yourself. How about the added tax we pay on blank CD’s in this country, where does that money go? It still has not been distributed. How about the reports from A&B Sound staff, who have over the last year and a half seen an increase in sales of music CD’s.

So your comparing someone killing someone else with a gun to P2P sharing? jeeze smoke another my friend…

We also have some very stingent Citizen Privacy protection under the Charter of Rights. Ones that can not be so easily be refuted or bypassed via a simple court case or even by a Parlimentary process, unless they are willing to rip up that Charter and yet again spend years redesigning it, (even though there are aspects to the present one that are still be worked out). This is something I think no Political party is willing touch, They have had their fingers Burned before.

In response to the ignorant individual who replied to my reply. First of all, if you think P2P is about stealing, you have no business even discussing P2P. Go and learn about what P2P is all about before posting nonsense.

Second, the conservative judges in the U.S.A. have proved that the facts aren’t important if they go against what big corporations. All the conservative republicans seem to care about is appeasing the corporations, no matter how much they lie and distort the facts.

The RIAA is crying poor, yet business is booming. Credible studies clearly show that file sharing is not harming the music industry.

P2P has nothing to do with stealing. Anyone who believes different is a damn fool.

if the p2p folks want music to be created, they must pay for and respect those that create, sponsor and manufacture the music. If you put a loaded weapon in a public place and somebody takes it and kills someone else, the person that put it there is responsible. The judge should ask why someone would put someone else’s property in a public place.

Take note. U.S. has a right wing republican government in charge. Canada has a Liberal (between the left NDP party and the right conservative party) government.

If you’re against file sharing then vote for the right wing governments. If you’re pro file sharing, make sure you don’t vote for conservative right wing governments.
