I hate to contradict you, but in most places, that's wrong.  Canada does seem to be the exception here though.

Quote - Interestingly, Canada stands out by authorizing, at least until the projected copyright reform, downloads on peer-to-peer networks under the "private copying" exception.

Again, you are talking "redistribution", not the simple act of saving for no other purpose than to look at it on your computer from time to time.

Saving and image to your hard drive for your eyes only, and redistributing said image are 2 entirely different things. The latter would be copyright infringement.

So far as the file sharing law in Canada, yes, it's 100% legal to share MP3 files via P2P. The music industry challenged it and it went all the way to the Supreme Court of Canada where the law was upheld.  However, that extends only to MP3 files so far as I know.

But we pay it in other ways.  We are charged a tariff on everything audio/video, from machines to blank media. That tariff is then submitted to the government like any other tax.

Quote - The money collected from levies on "recording mediums" goes into a fund to pay musicians and songwriters for revenues lost from consumers' personal copying. Manufacturers are responsible for paying the fees and often pass the cost on to consumers.

able to know ourselves fully as we are, especially the evil side of us.
This we can do only if we are not angry with our critics but will take in good
heart whatever they might have to say." - Ghandi
