"Italy has made transferring content via the Internet without the permission of the copyright holder a criminal offence.Those found guilty of the unauthorised distribution of copyright material now face a fine of between 154 and 1032 ($185-1240), a jail sentence of between six months and three years, the confiscation of their hardware and software, and the revelation of their misdeeds in Italy's two national newspapers, La Repubblica and Corriere della Sera."

I remember reading something that said Canada actually legalized file-sharing. They are charging a royalty on CD-RW and DVD-RW disks to pay the record companies.

That's the same way it is with VHS tapes and cassettes in the US I think.
