I don't think people realize what a joke Canadian copyright law is - i'm sure most assume because Canada is so closely tied to the US that we have a similar law to the DMCA or the DMCA covers Canada as well. The Canadian Copyright Act is absolutely a license to steal - even in the event you were successfully sued the maximum damage awards are a pittance compared to what you would receive in the US.

In 2011, a report by the International Intellectual Property Alliance said:

Overall the piracy picture in Canada is at least as bleak as it was a year ago, and it is cementing its reputation as a haven where technologically sophisticated international piracy organizations can operate with virtual impunity
