Have you always wondered how that stuff works ?
Wondered what kind of files you can get ?

How do you stay anonymous from law enforcement? Is piracy legal in your country?

It's not illegal in Canada.. we also pay a blank media tax that goes to the CRIAA.

Piracy IS illegal in Canada.

But Spoetnik doesn't care - he lives off social assistance anyway.   :-\

I will point out how i am on medical disability right now

I can do this all day buddy.. i don't have a JOB ROFL

A blank media levy was introduced in Canada in 1997, by the addition of Part VIII, "Private Copying", to the Canadian Copyright Act. The power to set rates and to set the distribution allocation is vested in the Copyright Board of Canada. The Copyright Board has handed the task of collecting and distributing the funds to the Canadian Private Copying Collective, which is a non-profit private organization.

In Canada:

    The levy applies to "blank audio recording media", such as CD-Rs.
    The levy is paid by importers and manufacturers of such media sold within Canada (and typically passed on to the retailer, and passed on to the purchaser).
    With the exception of the zero-rating exemption, the levy is collected regardless of the purchaser's end use of the media.
    The private copying levy is distributed as per the Copyright Board's allocation as: 66% to eligible authors and publishers, 18.9% to eligible performers and 15.1% to eligible record companies.
    The Canadian Private Copying Collective has developed a methodology by which the proceeds are distributed to rights holders based on commercial radio airplay and commercial sales samples, ignoring radio/college airplay and independent record sales not logged by Soundscan. This methodology has been criticized as favouring major-label artists at the expense of the long-tail. As of September 7, 2007 over one hundred million dollars has been distributed.
    In conjunction with the levy, the Copyright Act allows individuals to make copies of sound recordings for their own private, non-commercial use. They may not distribute the copy.
    In 2005, the Federal Court of Appeal overruled a 2003 Copyright Board decision which had applied the blank media levy to MP3 players such as Apple Inc.'s iPod, on the basis that such devices did not qualify as "audio recording medium" as per the Copyright Act definition.[7] Before this, the proposed rates were $2 for players with less than 1 GB of capacity, $15 for players up to 15 GB, and $25 for players 15 GB and over.

    On February 12, 2007, CPCC asked the Copyright Board of Canada to reintroduce the levy of $5 to $75, this time onto the memory component of the digital audio recorders (such as MP3 players) in Canada.[1] In addition, CPCC also proposed levies of $2 to $10 for memory cards (since withdrawn), 8 cent increases to CD, CD-R Audio, CD-RW Audio and MiniDiscs.[2] Certain parties objected to this tariff based on the 2005 Federal Court of Appeal precedent and brought a preliminary motion before the Copyright Board that would have prevented that part of the tariff application from being considered. The Copyright Board dismissed this preliminary motion in July 2007.
    In September 2007, an application for judicial review was brought before the Federal Court of Appeal to appeal the Copyright Board's dismissal. On October 26, 2007, the court granted the Canadian Recording Industry Association's request to intervene in the private copying/iPod levy judicial review.[3] Some argue that CRIA wanted to limit the scope of the private copying levy, given that it legalizes copying for the private use of the person making the copy, possibly regardless of whether the source is non-infringing or not.[4]
    In January 2008, the Federal Court of Appeal overturned the Copyright Board's July 2007 decision, stating that its previous ruling in the 2005 Canadian Private Copying Collective v. Canadian Storage Media Alliance case is dispositive authority for the proposition that "the Copyright Board has no legal authority to certify a tariff on digital audio recorders or on the memory permanently embedded in digital audio recorders."[5][8]

Canada's current private copying levies are as follows: $0.24 per unit for Audio Cassette tape (40min or longer), and $0.29 per unit for CD-R, CD-RW, CD-R Audio, CD-RW Audio and MiniDisc.[9] The Pirate Party of Canada, or the PPCA, has recently brought up the idea of scrapping the tax, as there are plenty of non-piracy related uses for CDs and it is unjust to punish Canadians who don't use them for these purposes.

and VOD rather than following me around Trolling with Welfare comments prove it.

I did. Read two posts up.   ;)

medical disability is not welfare sweet heart LOL

VOD you should be banned already how are you still here ?

You have literally stalked me with racist insults posting your jabs at me on unrelated topics.. 4 times now.

Why do you think you are above the rules here ?

Even if it makes me look like an an asshole ..i don't care. (i have nothing to hide)

You guys are both mental.

That's the problem with arguing with an idiot - an observer can't tell the difference.   :-\

::)

edit

F (I'm pointing this middle finger at you) U Horus.

 8)  ;D  :-*

Stop living off my money.
Stop downloading child porn using my money (an offence very prevalent on Indian reservations unfortunately)

Then we'll be fine.   :)

What we do know here is Trolling is against the rules.. this is the fourth topic you have stalked me on.
How are you not banned ?
This ain't a topic on Welfare or Indians on reservations or who has their taxes paid my little Troll buddy LOL

A VERY good post, people need to revisit the idea of p2p file sharing. Between private trackers and Piratebay's outlandish troll dreams; people have kinda lost interest in file sharing.

So here is a commendation from one pirate to another fellow pirate. Well donnaaarghh!!

My question :
Do you know of any good private trackers that have a huge resource of ebook especially elearning books or scans of engineering / coding books??

You are following me around the forum harrasing me with a bunch of made up bullshit

Seriously?
Defaming Indians huh?
Indians have reservations and yet they don't live on medical disability and do some real work to get their money paid, idiot.
They have reservations but that doesn't give 'em money for doing no work.
(Disclaimer: I didn't say that you don't work tho.)

You too can be a pirate like me, all you have to do is get an eye patch and uTorrent v2 (the best torrent client)

You seem to have no self worth at all.   :-\

I'll still be here tomorrow, paying for your internet access and child porn, unfortunately.

Socialist system will always pay for some persons not deserving it and living only on social welfare. But 99% of welfare is given to people really needing it, and used for the greater good of a country.

My previous ISP sent me an email once bitching about some movie i downloaded once.
Claiming i had it shared for uploading ..i didn't.
I snagged it then stopped seeding.. so that was bs.
But seeding is far more dangerous than simply downloading.
Anyway i told my ISP to go fuck themselves and carried on downloading
for a LONG time after and they never did squat about it.

Some people use VPN services though.

It's not illegal in Canada..

You're a dumbass, you even admit you know what VPNs are but refuse to use them:



My conclusion is that you are truly fucking retarded..  (http://globalnews.ca/news/1919187/canadians-who-illegally-download-movies-may-be-risking-more-than-previously-thought/)

It's illegal for sure ?
Well ya caught me so.. feel free to call the Royal Canadian Mounted Police and tell them i stole some MP3's.
..i will be the one hiding under my bed.  :'(

nope & nope.

keep trolling fat fuck.

Why the change in attitude?

I'll just leave this here..


I don't know why, but it really bothers me that you put a space before each question mark. Just out of curiosity, are you Asian? It's quite easy on here to guess someone's ethnicity.. :D
