No, you're not—unless you fall under one of the several exceptions that are all far narrower than "if you own a license". Some of those exceptions are spelled out in the statute, and others are made on a temporary basis by the Librarian of Congress.

In Canada, sure. Unfortunately for this case, Canadian laws don't apply worldwide.
