"Canadians who illegally download music, movies and other copyright material may no longer be able to hide from potential lawsuits.

In a groundbreaking decision released Thursday by Canada's Federal Court, the Internet service provider TekSavvy Solutions was ordered to release to Voltage Pictures LLC the names and addresses of more than 2,000 Internet users suspected of pirating movies. Voltage is a Hollywood production company that has made films including 'The Hurt Locker,' which won six Oscars, and the upcoming 'American Heist.'"

[Ed. Note] Apparently this is a dupe.

    True, though he could have done 4-6 without 3. There is other news out there and I'd like him to continue submitting it, especially stuff he doesn't already know has been posted.

    Maybe this is why the other place had so many dupes—Somebody new would show up and learned a few things.
