I thought that bad late-night musak was the worst of the CBC Lock-Out.
But, in the wake of the Australian Kazaa court decision, CRIA authors
a completely one-sided article.

Under a misleading title, Canada is identified as a "pirate haven"
because it has "the highest per capita rate of unauthorised
file-swapping".  Of course Canada has "the second highest level of
broadband penetration" which, of course makes it "vulnerable to
piracy".  Dissecting that set of statements, the correct logical
conclusion is that the Internet should be disassembled in Canada, not
changes to copyright law.

I almost stopped reading when quotes from Henderson allude to the
lusty "yo-ho" issuing from the good ship Kazaa - raising their sails
for the pirate haven called Canada.  Hope for alternate opinions
forced me to continue.  In in vain, alas.

Avast me hearties! Yo-ho!
