This will be interesting to see what the outcome will be for those in Canada who download stuff from the internet. #1530758 by qbert95 (Power User) at 2013-05-13 15:48:22 (2 months ago) - [Report] Canada has become the new location of choice for filming and post production for many Hollywood studios so you can be damn sure that the Canadian government will pass these laws to ensure it stays that way. #1530764 by CDNeh69 (User) at 2013-05-13 17:18:19 (2 months ago) - [Report] True.. I believe this is the first time for film copyright.. They have tried with music before but it didnt work. Be interesting to see where this goes..  I know i'll be watching. #1530765 by wezzeyy (Power User) at 2013-05-13 17:27:04 (2 months ago) - [Report] Canada sucking up to America? Well that's unheard of. Still, canada must have quite liberal laws regarding p2p atm? There are some major seedbox companies located in Ca at least. #1530768 by qbert95 (Power User) at 2013-05-13 19:47:59 (2 months ago) - [Report] wezzeyy wrote: Canada sucking up to America?

It's Canada seeing that are in a crucial point in time where they can continue to strip away more and more of the film/tv industry from the US or kiss it goodbye. Not really a hard choice from them to make since one pays a crap load in taxes and brings in even more in private sector revenue while the other drives it all away. #1530775 by bolg (Power User) at 2013-05-13 21:32:24 (2 months ago) - [Report] qbert95 wrote: Canada has become the new location of choice for filming and post production for many Hollywood studios so you can be damn sure that the Canadian government will pass these laws to ensure it stays that way. HAven't hard of this before. Why're they doing that? #1530778 by Picard1701E (Power User) at 2013-05-13 22:52:34 (2 months ago) - [Report] Because it's a lot cheaper to make movies and tv shows in canada than in the US.   This topic has been autolocked for inactivity.
