Who pays for this blog? I receive no fees, considerations, etc. etc. for the posts on this blog nor do I have any plans to accept any. My salary is paid by Canwest Global Communications Corp. I work for that company as the Ottawa-based National Affairs Correspondent for Canwest News Service. The blog publishing platform used here is called Blogware and it's developed by Tucows Inc. of Toronto, Ontario, Canada. My use of Blogware should not be taken as an endorsement of that company. Like all Blogware users, I do not pay any fees for the use of this service. I participate in program. Google pays me some money and, for that, I give Google some space on this site to display ads. Google sells those ads and Google, not me, decides what advertising content you are seeing. I do not filter these ads and take no responsibility for them. Readers should not assume I endorse any of the products or services advertised here. If you think other disclosures are appropriate in this space, I'd like to hear from you. All of my contact details are always at www.davidakin.com You can read more about this section |
Downloading too?

You wrote: "but also said downloading and uploading in Canada do not infringe copyright."
In my understanding, the court said that uploading does not infringe copyright. Downloading was not at issue as it was only uploaders who were being sued.
The judge compared making files available via P2P to having a photocopier in a library full of copyrighted materials. Just as people using that photocopier may be infringing on copyright, downloaders may infringe on copyright -- the point is that in either case the person providing the means to do so is not infringing on copyright.
