Canada to be blacklisted?
http://www.hardocp.com/news.html?news=MjQxNDIsLCxobmV3cywsLDE=


I wonder if this was the same group who threatened trade sanctions against Sweden because of TPB incident.
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

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.

Re: Canada to be blacklisted?
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.

: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.
