So Canada is being condemned for not having miles and miles of restrictions on legit games? Jeesh are we in the US that overbearing and hateful of free-spirits?
ESA Wants Canada Kept on Piracy Watch List

- Start date
The American government doesn't back and is not above the laws of the ESA any more than Canada. If I read correctly the ESA is a member of the International Intellectual Property Alliance. Still, I can tell you from personal experience this isn't going to have much of an affect on pirating. Like most supranational organizations, simply adding a country's name to a list of "offenders" does not stop the offense from happening. They just do a worse job at finding these piraters.Furburt said:

Arr! Canada is obviously not its own country duh. America has every right to tell us how to run Canada, because we obviously can't. We should drive our economy down to their standards so we can be JUST LIKE THEMDarkSaber said:

Piracy truly is out of control in Canada and needs to be stopped. Just the other day I was out on my scooner and got boarded by some scurvy dogs. I think one of them was even wearing an eyepatch. They stole me rum and sang a piratin' tune as they sailed away.
Bastards.

Honestly, there is no reason to pirate anything, if the economy is in good condition right? So if people want piracy to be reduced maybe they should work on fixing the global economy starting with the USA which has for the greater part caused more than enough harm with it's Fiat money system.
Corporations don't want to face the fact that people don't have the capital to pay for food, shelter, and video games. Over-saturation of the video game market means there are less options but the companies don't care to slow down releases enough so we have 3+ GOW clones that came out within the 2-3 month period before GOW3 comes out. Right? YES!
Piracy is not an issue, Macroeconomics is an issue. Which is easier for the companies to blame? We all know the answer. They can cry about how they're not making enough surplus for their vacation's but then again all is fair in the art of war.

I love Canada. They are so much more laid back than america.
The U.S. tried to prosecute somebody in Canada for selling Marijuana seeds online in the U.S.
Canada basically said Fuck you. I love em'
Also, thank you for giving me the urge to play Baldur's Gate 2 again. I never did beat it. I wonder how many other people immediately recognized that picture? I would have recognized ANY map from the forgotten realms games.
As for piracy, There ain't much I can do about it, so I don't. If Canada is a haven for pirates, then I guess we'll see what happens.

Because all twenty pirates here are such a threat. /sarcasm
Really, though, I'm fairly certain there are more pirates in America then there are people in Canada.
