"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.

    Definetely !

    Although I do not wish to take credit for 3 since there is no way to (currently) modify a submission [dev.soylentnews.org]. I did not edit/resubmit/sacrifice a goat in order to have the story pulished; the news was already out and I guess that's more important IMO.

    Checking out a reasonable timespan in the submissions feed or at least a few pages past the front before posting could help avoiding dupes after the original story is out. An easier access to the submissions [dev.soylentnews.org] could also be helpful to potential posters.
