"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.

    Back when I registered here way back in '2014 we were lucky to get 3 articles at all let alone a dupe! And we had to save our submission text to an editor in case it didn't go through since it probably wouldn't for the first try! And we did it up hill! Both ways!
