You know how in the US, people get sued by the RIAA and MPAA for downloading a movie and get fined for hundreds of thousands of dollars? Well that was not possible in Canada, but it will be soon. Will it happen? Not sure. Theres also some good revisions to current copyright laws in the bill, haven't finished reading the whole bill but I figure theres a few guys on here who would be interested.

M Brown wanna tell me whats changed in the copyright laws for photography in this bill? I have no idea what it was like before and some of the legal speak in the bill is really hard for my small brain to process.
