Canadian Ruling on Web Music
by Jeremy at 1:42 pm EST, Dec 13, 2003

Downloading copyrighted music from peer-to-peer networks is legal in Canada, although uploading files is not.

The Copyright Board of Canada imposed a government fee of as much as $25 on iPod-like MP3 players. The money collected from levies goes into a fund to pay musicians and songwriters.

Coming up next week on "The Illogical Canadian", legal experts will attempt to explain a new ruling that makes it legal to use stolen credit cards, although actually stealing the cards in the first place remains a felony.
