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.Recent comments by the head of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police's federal investigations agency and questions of copyright theft about its intellectual property enforcement priorities prove once and for all that Canada truly is the more sensible North American country. Christmas Hilaire recently told the French-language newspaper Le Devoir that "Piracy for personal use is no longer targeted. Today it is so easy to copy. Everybody was taken by surprise and we do not know how to stop it." Rather than allocate its limited resources on issues that are really of a private concern, it instead will allocate them to address issues that have broad, public implications. "It addresses mainly crimes against intellectual property, which have an impact on the health and safety of consumers [medicines, electrical appliances, and so on.], but also those related to organized crime," said Hilaire. "Our plate is pretty full with that, and unfortunately, the small, it does not have time to deal with them." I think I'm starting to like the Canadian Govt more and more. It seems the RCMP has finally figured out that stepped up law enforcement isn't the way too handle new technology. Now if only our govt was as enlightened as they. With news that our govt is actually figuring out new ways to sue file-sharers it really makes you wonder sometimes if Abraham Lincoln was wrong in referring to our country as a "...government of the people, by the people, (and) for the people." Looking for more stuff to watch or download?

If the Civil War was about freeing the slaves then why did it take Lincoln 2 years to give the Emancipation Proclamation? The Civil War was about preserving the integrity of the Union at the expense of states rights.
You would think with everything else they have on their plate, that file sharing would be low on the totem pole.
Let somebody come in with a bomb....but make SURE you arrest file sharers! after all, they are the ones that are more of a threat to their masters, the music and movie lobbies!
I REALLY hope you meant that in jest...
