Torrent users be warned: Copyright in Canada

Following an important court ruling last week, thousands of Canadians are now at risk of being exposed to mass BitTorrent lawsuits. That’s the message from the boss an anti-piracy outfit who says is company has been monitoring BitTorrent networks for infringements and has amassed data on millions of users. The court ruling involved just 50 Canadians but another case on the horizon involves thousands of alleged pirates. As reported here on TorrentFreak every other week, copyright trolls are alive and well in the United States and Europe. “Pay us a cash settlement,” the trolls advise, “or we’ll make your life a misery.”
