If only I would have know there were such a site for Quebec, I would have supported it

B) Yeah, that whole ‘prevents them from dealing with any website, etc, that has to do with downloading copyright’ is -really- scetchy. I have trouble believing that one got by anyone’s lawyer. I think you could get a pro-bono lawyer that could fight that one even.

How do they know if you are downloading? How do they catch and fine you?

Here is the pledge:
http://www.28chan.org/pledge.php

For the first time in Canadian history, a person has sued (NOT EVEN GAD-DAMNED PUNISHED/SENTENCED !!!!!!) for an act (bitTorrent) that is completely legal in the country.

This is just fodder for the ‘tard dinosaur-mafIAA to shut down other legal bitTorrent sites, and pass legislation to make bitTorrent ACTUALLY illegal.

And yah, I said legal. A JUDGE ruled its not legal. But by the LAWS of Canada, it IS legal. I betcha 10 to 1 that judge buys a new $50-100,000 car this year.

And we are still screwed.

This judge had no right, under Canadian law, to do what he did.
If he had tried to pull it off at a national level, he would have been smacked down and laughed at.
He is supposed to judge according to the Law and to Common Law and to Common Sense; in NONE of those was any good taken from one party and wrongfully given to another party.

And yet thanks to this chump, the dinosaur-mafIAA will feel ten feet tall and head straight off after the next guys. CHUMPS!!!

And in the background, we’ve always still got Bill C-61, to be voted on at the end of the summer (check out the UoO’s blog on it at http://www.michaelgeist.ca). Torrents and filesharing may be legal in Canada right now, and you may be protected from your ISP snooping on everything you do in Canada right now, but just give them time to pass that damn bill.

A small-scale bad guy threatens you with a stick and says “give me money”; a multi-national bad guy walks into your country, changes your laws, and says “There. Now its illegal not to give me money. Give me money, or I’m going to have your government fine and jail you.”

It would be funny if it weren’t so sickening.

“Solange Drouin, the managing director of ADISQ explains:

“We had envisaged [...] ”

Indicating that he hopes the shutdown has an effect on other current and potential torrent site admins he goes on”

Thanks for a great report.

BLAME AMERICA!

I’m just so sick of this shit, I won’t have my rights trampled on.
No fucking way.

Unfortunately, this statement could effectively stop him from even browsing the internet, since http is another technology that can be used to download something that is copyright.

Also, there are many sites that have a copyright home page, such as eBay. Remember that an internet browser HAS to download the images, tags and text to your PC for it to work.

Whoever wrote that statement did not put in any proviso for the way the Internet operates, which is basically millions of computers all filesharing with each other (http is still filesharing).

Canada is getting worse and more close minded then ever… a shame I live there.

Also, Solange is a female name in french … “she goes on”!

It doesn’t change much as there are still plenty more site from Qc hosted outside occidental countries. doditz should have hosted its own offshore from the beginning.

It’s only the first site to be closed down, more will follow. http://www.cbc.ca/technology/story/2008/07/11/qc-quebectorrent0711.html

:P

He was not convicted of a crime, was he?

He was threatened with lawsuits; that’s civil, not criminal.

Anyway even if they kill the bittorent technology they can’t stop sharing we will always find a way to share !

Not good news that hes’ gone but still it wasn’t worth for anti piracy to fight with a small tracker LoL

vive le quebec libre ! … eh merde on est plus si libre que ca …
