It seems the Canadian police have stated their view on filesharing.
http://torrentfreak.com/canadian-police-tolerates-piracy-071110/The Canadian police announced that it will stop targeting people who download copyrighted material for personal use. Their priority will be to focus on organized crime and copyright theft that affects the health and safety of consumers instead of the cash flow of large corporations.
Around the same time that the CRIA successfully took Demonoid offline, the Canadian police made clear that Demonoid’s users don’t have to worry about getting caught, at least not in Canada.
According to the Canadian police it is impossible to track down everyone who downloads music or movies off the Internet. The police simply does not have the time nor the resources to go after filesharers.
“Piracy for personal use is no longer targeted,” Noël St-Hilaire, head of copyright theft investigations of the Canadian police, said in an interview with Le Devoir. “It is too easy to copy these days and we do not know how to stop it,” he added.
Whilst it suprised me that there was any investigations going on as no law was being broken I can only applaud the police for acting in the same way as those in other countries where its seen that chasing filesharers to keep a multi billion dollar a year corporation in customers is morally questionable as well as being yet another tax burden laid at the door of the consumers whom are paying for this corrupt policy with their own funds to keep some politicians in "donations" from the recording industry, I smell the stink of global corporate corruption folks, lets be glad we can say the air is truly clean in Canada, Sweden And Germany.
