I just want to clarify something. The following statement by Jim Prentice is quoted above:

“Despite what Michael Geist would like readers to believe, we introduced important amendments to the Copyright Act on June 12 using a made-in-Canada approach that will benefit all Canadians,”.

Does the introduction of important amendments on June 12 mean that these laws have been effective since that day? So I am now breaking the law for ripping a copy protected CD to my PC???

I need clarification also on “notice and notice” with regards to ISPs… what the hell does that mean?

Thanks to anyone who clears this up for me.
