Re: Pirate Bay should save money for defending lawsuits
said by Tomek  :Most of the time downloading torrents from the pirate bay is illegal, but often I find it justified. Pirate Bay is NOT just a place you may find "Pirated Files" there are alot of Legit file linkage that groups & Businesses use for a variety of reasons. I think there name "Pirate Bay" sometimes gives users the impression that its ONLY use is for pirated software/files and this is NOT true at all.
As for Copyright Laws, U.S. Copyright Laws are NOT enforceable in many countries. For whatever ignorant reason, many people ASSUME that laws of the U.S. are laws everywhere. |

And since MOST countries are part of the WTO and must follow the rules by treaty, these countries all had to pass copyright laws very similar to US copyright laws to be a member and meet treaty obligations. See this WTO document on Intellectual Property Rights to see what is involved and what governments have agreed to: »www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/tri···m2_e.htm

Canada is quite clearly a member of the WTO, and our laws are considerably different than what the United States has. In addition, any potential changes to the law either get shelved by parliament, or defeated.
