Stop threats to Canada's online pirates, rights holders told
ReutersReuters – 19 hours ago January 10, 2015
No punishment for illegal downloading according to proposed laws
TORONTO (Reuters) - Media companies must back off from threatening Canadians who illegally download movies, music and books with penalties that do not exist in Canadian law, the government said on Friday.

"These notices are misleading and companies cannot use them to demand money from Canadians," said Jake Enright, a spokesman for Industry Minister James Moore.

Officials will be contacting Internet Service Providers (ISPs) and rights holders within days to put an end to the practice, he said.

The issue surfaced on Thursday, when University of Ottawa law professor and respected industry blogger Michael Geist posted a letter from a rights holder that threatened civil liabilities of up to $150,000 per infringment.

Canadian law caps liability for non-commercial infringements by individuals at $5,000.

Recent legal amendments require ISPs to pass on to their customers copyright infringement notices from media companies.

The opposition New Democratic Party earlier on Friday urged the Conservative government to close what they called a loophole.

"The Conservatives are letting these companies send false legal information to Canadians in order to scare them into paying settlements for movies or music no one has even proved they've actually downloaded," NDP Industry Critic Peggy Nash said.

Geist said ISPs should reassure customers that their personal information has not been disclosed and point out Canadian law on the issue.

He urged the government to penalize companies that send false information or make "misleading settlement demands."

The letter posted by Geist, sent by Rightscorp Inc on behalf of music rights manager BMG Rights Management to an unidentified Canadian ISP, also offered a legal release from the copyright owner for $20 per infringement.

It is not clear how many of these letters have been sent out in Canada, or how many people have opted to settle.

The Canadian lawyer retained by Rightscorp, Susan Abramovitch, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Canada's biggest telecom company, BCE Inc , said it adds its own message to the notices it is legally obliged to pass on, pointing out that it played no part in identifying the possible unauthorized use of content.

Soon everyone on a global scale will spread content like crazy, whether it's copyright protected or not, whether it is classified or not. Countries and alliances will dissolve. The people will shut down all the governments, the military industrial complexes, the laws and all the companies. Who cares about all of that stuff when the people on a global scale only cares about bringing peace and freedom to the world. Free energy is enough to make that revolution happen, if we haven't solved that yet, we are at least getting much closer. The developments within the free energy area are some of the most important things to stay updated about right now. Everything points towards a major energy paradigm shift and that paves way for a future we did not think was possible. The day when the rabbit has truly escaped the rabbit hole and it takes off like crazy, that will be a very exciting one. I can already see myself clicking the purchase button on an online service for getting one of those free energy devices. I can see it becoming equally popular like the iPhones and iPads are today. And then it's over for the Cabal, the slavery simply came to an end. :thumb:

It's an optimistic view, but the least violent form it will take, which again is purely optimistic..is similar to the Ghanidan 'sit down' in India, where men refused to fight the English and some were beaten, some killed.

The people will be provoked beyond the point of death, as for the ruling elite it will feel like and be a form of death. So they and those who follow them will fight the peaceful & non violent as if the peaceful & non-violent were fighting a war to the death. The oppressors will bring bombs, guns, and death to the most peaceful of gatherings.

An old tiger or old Lion is at it peak of violence and viciousness, just before it goes down.

You will be fighting the hardest fight with the least weapons. Any other tactic that is not centered on that mindset (centered, as it cannot be perfect), is more of the same NWO violence, in continuance.

We have solved free energy, a thousand times over. Like false flags and watched people, Giant NSA like apparatuses in the given countries...it is an even more secret, a more violent war of attrition against the inventors and 'free energy warriors'.

The thing about a parasite is that it, at the minimum, fells like it is dying if it leaves the presence and feeding grounds that is the host. So, in effect, it will fight to the death to remain. Population reduction, wiping out of oceans, continual warfare, and so on.

Well, lets wish for these old lions and tigers to go down a bit sooner rather than later...
before they can do any more harm.
The same goes for all the raging bull energies in existence.

If higher consciousness can enter into every particle there will be peace and abundance for all.

I guess the problem with taking a negative view is that thought creates reality.

Well, a good friend, long ago, taught me that the first impression of a problem being dealt with, in an initial effort or thought, is almost always incorrect.

In such deep human problems, as cognition and mental resolution, it is more a process of back and forth than constant and simplified steps forward. Ie, the devil is in the details, and in a 3d time based quantified space..... it takes time.

Thus, I've no problem whatsoever with the projection of overt optimism, but it's realization may involve many zig zags, or meandering before it actually appears. ie, overt optimism, specifically, unseasoned optimism... as dimensional cannon fodder.

Clarity of understanding, is the big thing to arrange in ones self. I too see the things in the given optimistic post and I do indeed realize that if everyone was on the same page, things would happen as quick as can be.

But to realize the fundament of an aware universe, and in that ...perfection is just as relevant a stillness and death as is total chaos.
