I don't know why it took me so long to post this, but I just saw an update on the new copyright laws the conservative government is instituting.
CBC has a great summary on the new laws: http://www.cbc.ca/arts/music/story/2007/11/19/copyright-law.html
Here is a quick summary:
Downloading song and sharing songs will be illegal
File-sharing will be illegal (Torrent, Kazaa, Limewire, etc.)
Recording any TV or movie will be illegal!Well, those are pretty harsh if they're well enforced. Expanding on the third point, you won't even be allowed to record a TV show to watch later!
Well, time to move to Sweden :p
