I am under the impression that sharing files in Canada is perfectly legal due to the results of a court case a few years ago. Can anyone here confirm or comment on this? Thanks.

sharing of the files is absolutely legal, but another question is, what type of files are you sharing :)
Thanks, but I don't see why the type of file could be important. Would the content of the file be of concern?
if you see "copyright" word (or that "C") anywhere on the product (or in the programme)... well, you know what i mean :D
Its legal in canada pretty much no matter what your sharing.
I know lots of people who only had their isps terminate their service.
Some didnt even get that much.
They have filed 0 lawsuits on anyone I know that has been caught from Canada.
They have too many issues with their legal system to give a donkeys ball so to say about people downloading files.
To give you an example , I switched ISPs and was sent a e-mail on how to safely share files . It gave a tutorial on how to config. shared folders ,what to watch for if your a sever and the like . Pretty much what I knew but thought wow thats service . :lol:
I should say there were links on how to use Emule , Ares , Limewire and a few others I can't remember . ;)
Here's a link so you know I'm not blowing smoke up your ass .

It's legal due to our levy on blank media. ;)

What about burning cd's or dvd's to your friends? it's ok too?
Another thing: what about selling some cd's or dvd's? i think that's not ok anymore because you would be making profit...am i right?
