[QUOTE]Originally posted by The_Tom: [QB] Sadly it is. We've always had really draconian laws about protecting copywrite up here. VCRs took forever to get cleared for public use, and the government surcharge on blank tapes is still so high that I buy all mine when I shop in the US. At least it kept Canadians from buying VCRs until the whole Betamax/VHS thing was cleared up. :) Napster was never really able to establish itself up here, either, as all ISPs were forced to block it. Of course, overseas proxy servers were there for those who knew how to use them. Scanners are a similar story, although for the life of me I have no idea why digital cameras are still being cracked down-on. I mean, you can take a still pic of something and then scan it in and achieve the desired effect. Governments are funny like that... ;) [/QB][/QUOTE]
