Canada grped w/ Belize, Venezuela, China, Turkey, Indonesia, Ukraine & Russia!?

That's right! The U.S. has blacklisted us due to our relaxed copyright laws.

From the sounds of it, we are by far, one of the worst countries when it comes to bootlegging movies in theatres and there are no laws against banning camcorders from them, etc. While the article doesn't go into it, a lot of the TV shows that are being circulated via bittorrent are also from Cdns - as you can tell by seeing the Global or CTV HD logos on the bottom right-hand side of the screen. No... I don't dl TV shows that I miss or air at the same time as some of my other fave shows... that would be unethicial! ;)

I may be remissed for not giving a rats ass, but let me put this into perspective... I've gone to more movies in the past two years than I had in the previous 10 (other than that year when the local second-run theatre had $1 Tuesday viewings) and while I may dl movies, I've also purchased about 75 per cent of them on DVD. So really, am I not contributing to the system, which they say is losing money? I don't have time to do the research, but I vaguely remember reading that mucho moola was being made fromt he sales of DVDs.
