Sharing copyrighted works on peer-to-peer networks is legal in Canada.

Sharing copyrighted works on peer-to-peer networks is legal in Canada, a federal judge ruled on Wednesday, handing the record industry a sharp setback in its international fight against file swappers.

Canadian record labels had asked the court for authorization to identify 29 alleged file-swappers in that country, in preparation for suing them for copyright infringement, much as the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) has sued more than 1500 people in America.

But the judge denied that request. In a far-ranging decision, the court further found that both downloading music and putting it in a shared folder available to other people online appeared to be legal in Canada

I thought this would at least grab the attention of most Canadians.

yeah, but do artists really get paid from that? i doubt they get that much, if any, money in their pocket.

But don't think this is over though, I'm sure they'll be back in court.
