Canadian Piracy Legislation
Bill C-59, the legislative proposal designed to combat illegal camcording of films in Canada, would create two new offenses: the recording of a movie in a movie theatre without the consent of the theater's manager, and the recording of a movie in a movie theater without the consent of the theater's manager for the purpose of selling, renting, or other commercial distribution of a copy of the recording. A first offense could result in a sentence of up to two years in jail. A repeat offender could get a five year sentence. Click here for a CBC report on the bill.
