Over the past year, Canadians have faced a barrage of claims painting Canada as a "piracy haven." This video moves beyond the headlines to demonstrate how claims by the movie and music industries do not tell the whole story.

Full list of sources for the film can found online at http://www.michaelgeist.ca/content/view/2097/125/

  • There is a lot more that the likes of Google can be doing to support the whistleblowing process and the fight against sellers of counterfeit goods.

    Public awareness: the reporting hotline for the country could be hosted directly and obvious in the Google main web search page, the Google main shopping search page, and again in the Google search results pages. The same for the warning messages “BEWARE FAKES” “REPORT FAKES” and the "Watch this clip before you buy!" video clip embedded alongside.

  • There is not a chance that 70% of illegal camcording of movies is coming from Canada. As far as illegal activity and movies being sold to support it? What a load of shit. No one i know will even download a camcorder copy for FREE nevermind pay for it. As far as that making money anywhere not a a chance. Normal people wait a few weeks and watch a dvd copy. I've gone to plenty of movies and not once seen a dweeb with a camcorder.

  • That's right we are lax on piracy laws because no one gives a shit. Police and politicians have more to worry about then making fithy rich spoiled faggot corporate ceo's and overpaid actors more money while they try and sue jonny and his kids for more money then what there house is worth becaue he downloaded a movie or cd. The fact that little fags like justin bieber can make millions for being a talentless shit and then flaunt it in your face and expect you to pay for it? Fuck off it's free

  • What IS a crime is the audio quality of this video...

  • @newstream2010 You know this video was posted in July of 2007...right?

  • umm pirated movies and software is set in swedan not canada because swedan doesnt have copyright laws

  • Together we can kill this bill. Vote NDP or LIberal, and our vote will fire Stephen Harper and his government thus killing this bill!!!! Stephen Harper YOU'RE FIRED!

  • @senario4 totally agreed...who is the dummy whos aid that

  • talk of the $#@! you want, Canada is the best place to live.

  • Fuck the industry, we aren't paying for your shit.
