Canadian court finds for file swappers
A court has ruled against a request by the Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) to compel Canadian ISPs to give up the identities of Canadian file swappers. The judge went further than merely refusing the CRIA's request - to quote the Globe and Mail, "According to the judge, there is no compelling evidence that either downloading or sharing of digital music files is even illegal." Great news for fair use of copyrighted material in Canada.

Equifax Canada reports security breach
Detailed credit files of over 1400 individuals localized in Alberta, BC, and a few in Onatario were stolen from Equifax systems. The breach shows signs of being masterminded by organized crime. Not good.
