Canada just got placed on the US "naughty list" which they have for countries with rampant copyright infringement (in the eyes of the US anyway). The US has been constantly after the Canada to update its IP laws but the Canadian government HAS but just differently.The real reason why Canada hasn't changed is what Primal mentions. Mainly Canada acknowledged that there WAS going to be pirating and thus, every type of recordable media is subject to a LEVY (a tax you can say) that is then distributed to producers of such material.I'm not sure the US citizens would actually agree with such a LEVY as you're basically punishing everyone for the actions of a select few....</blockquote>
