All,

RCMP Won't Go After Personal Filesharers

"The RCMP announced that it will stop targeting people who download copyrighted material for personal use (Google translation). Their
priority will be to focus on organized crime and copyright theft
that affects the health and safety of consumers, such as copyright
violations related to medicine and electrical appliances, instead
of the cash flow of large corporations. Around the same time that
the CRIA successfully took Demonoid offline, the RCMP made clear
that Demonoid's users don't have to worry about getting prosecuted,
at least not in Canada. 'Piracy for personal use is no longer
targeted, St-Hilaire, head of copyright theft investigations of
the RCMP, said in an interview. 'It is too easy to copy these days
and we do not know how to stop it.'"
