Question Limewire. Legal in Canada?
Hi! I asked all my friends, and they say,

Yes, LimeWire is Legal in Canada.
But, I just want to be sure. The supreme court says it is, if you dont upload songs. (No i didnt ask them, I read on the internet.) So, I'm just trying to be safe. Thanks!

Well, LW is legal in every country (as far as I know) but what people download with might not be legal. It depends all on the legacy laws (or copyright laws) of the country you live in.
Let's say you download my private picture collection of my cat, that would definitely be legal. On the other hand, if you download the newest blockbuster just recently released on DVD, that might be illegal.

Subject: [ORC News] Issue 1.2: Alert - Send Your MP an Email for Balanced Copyright Reform

ORC News | May 10, 2006 | Issue 1.2

Dear OnlineRights.ca Supporter,

During the last Parliament, Bill C-60 provided some sensible approaches
to copyright reform in Canada, but it also left lots of room for
improvement. That's why people from across the country worked together
to tell the last government that new copyright laws should balance
demands from the copyright industry against the public interest. Today,
rumours from Ottawa indicate that this message needs to be delivered
again. You can help by sending your MP an email with our new action
center:
http://www.onlinerights.ca/get_activ...reform_action/

New Ministers Bev Oda of Canadian Heritage and Maxime Bernier of
Industry have been conducting an investigation into copyright reform and
could finalize a position on draft legislation within weeks. It's vital
that you tell your MP that any new law should be an improvement on Bill
C-60, not the retreat being urged by big copyright holders. If we act
now, during the research period, we will have a much greater impact than
if we wait until new legislation is making its way through Parliament.
Take a moment to make your voice heard on this important issue:

Sincerely,

Online Rights Canada
