the question of facilitation of piracy can be an issue

it doesnt have to stick if you get enough copyright trolls on you your wallet will get thin as you handle multiple court cases regardless of outcome

I recall something about canada considering a publicly broadcasted TV show to be in the public domain so that things like threes company or happy days are fair game in canada... is that true?

Never heard anything about the public broadcasting > public domain loophole but it doesn't sound too far fetched.

If anything, we are liberal with our copyright laws up here.
