No matter what the issue. Coincidentally, just today there were two industry articles about people irritated at having their bags/purses searched prior to entering "Spiderman 3" in Canadaian theatres in an effort to help Cineplex (theatre chain) ward off potential liability related to piracy. More interesting is that the Canadian content owners, theater distributors, DVD distributors, and consumer advocates all agree that piracy is a big issue in Canada. Is Canada related to Jack Valenti, DRM, Linux, or the right to make a personal DVD copy? Then there is alway the real truth and value to this particular thread....

You're still out of touch, I think you filter all information when it challenges your predisposition even when it is in the link. Canada has just been added to the State Department's dirty dozen shit list of pirate countries thanks to the MPAA. As you know Valenti headed the MPAA at one point. Here's another outrageous abuse of the DMCA: http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/07/05/08/1922210.shtml] Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote No....they weren't added to the Piracy Watch list because of the MPAA. They were added because; A-Canada has not ratified WIPO treaties. B-IIAP has demonstrated that a significant number of films have been pirated in Canada, and the law enforcement/Customs in Canada have indicated they have no authority on which to enforce anti-piracy laws at the border C-It's not the first time they've been there. D-Canada is on the lower-level watchlist, which they can easily exit by complying with agreements they've signed in the past. E-It's the six degrees of Kevin Bacon not MPAA, RIAA, or any other ingredient of alphabet soup. ***I think you filter all information when it challenges your predisposition even when it is in the link. Truer words could not have been written. I thought you didn't like pirates. How is it that the links I post are "lies" and the links you post are "truth?" An accurate portrayal is found somewhere in the middle, wouldn't you agree? Meanwhile, I've got pirates selling my media on Ebay. Do you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
