I wonder if this was the same group who threatened trade sanctions against Sweden because of TPB incident.

I tell you what. Why don't they add every single country except the USA to the list and then curse their stupidity when they all develop their own entertainment industries and start pushing them out of their own marketplace. :D

Yar!  We be thieven ye music and motion pictures and then we be thieven yee women!  All hands set sail for ye ole Sunset Boulevard, We shall bring the fight to all ye evil and dastardly corporations who plunder the riches of your customers.  See how ye like that when we plunder ye bottom line!  YAR!

let them blacklist us....if they think we are pirate scums then we'll prove it to them if they try and cut us off from legitamate stuff.  un like some, most people i know will go out and buy something if they like it.  if they don't like it then they wouldn't have gotten it anyway.  I mmay download episode of battlestar, stargate and Dr who...But I also own every season on dvd (except for 9 of stargate and 2 of dr who....soon!  i shall soon)  and honestly thats how it should be.  I'd like to access as much good quality stuff as i want, for free, and then pay for it i wanted a copy to keep.  Piracy will never go away, and it definitely won't decrease if they keep expecting people to pay ludicrous amounts of money for end content.  the old model of business is on its last legs, and we need to take it out back and shoot it repeatedly.  and in its place should be a user friendly, affordable and yes, profitable system.

Its pure bull****...they say that video taping in cinemas is "approaching critical levels" or something like that...thats completely bogus.  The protections against that here are just as strong as they are in the states if not more so. But no....we're contributing to the problem.  Unfortunately the Conservative government seems to sometimes be in the US's pocket so for this reason I hope they fall and prevent some US style system in.  I'm quite content to show the US the middle finger because we're not the US and we can run our laws in a much more fair manner as we almost always do.

At first I was like "Now what did they do? Did Bryan Adams make a new album?" :D

Now that I read it, this is retarded... Again WE Veterans need to go into the politician's offices and start dragging them out to the street and inform then their services are no longer needed... (bang!) - ok I'm sorta kidding on the bang part but not the rest!

Citizen or Civilian YOU decide (Would you like to know more?)

:wtf: Canada is modernized and the people there tend to be a little friendlier than the average yankee. I think their only real fault is putting gravy on french fries.

Hah! Tremble in fear of our three currently-active submarines! Flee our three air-defence/C&C destroyers! Surrender to our massive fleet of twelve Halifax-class frigates!

Yes...fear is in the north.  Socialist Canada is coming to invade and we'll bring our public healthcare, more reasonable constitution, and gun control laws along too.

Hey...maybe we should blacklist the Americans for their out of control gun habits and how they are so primitive to not have control laws? Pfft? :D (I'm not being serious about that but hopefully the irony is well understood)

I think that every other one of Canada's ideas is good... but don't touch the gun control, trust me on this.

Yeah... they might not have the moxie of an Arleigh Burke or a Luda, but per size the Iroquois are not bad

I'd put them ahead of a Luda, behind a Burke still, but only because of their small missile load. They have the same Mk41 VLS and fire the same missiles. They only have about half as many though. (Burke has a VLS fore and aft, Iroquois has only one.)

Yeah... didn't look at the Luda close enough... only knew it was a major destroyer in China's fleet.
