I consider it equivalent to them issuing you with speeding tickets every time you buy gas...
The difficult we do immediately, the impossible takes a little longer.

Preemptive speeding tickets...

Over hear I'm pretty sure you can film anything in a public place so long as you're not being dodgy. If you have a CCTV camera you have to have a sign up unless there's a very good reason not to.

I presume dash cams are classes as CCTV?

Also we pay a media tax on all hard drives/blank CDs/USB sticks that is to cover lost royalties for pirated media. Only top earners get those royalties, the low earners are entitled to nothing.


That is a little messed up I may say.  How do the authority knows that the contents inside those blank hard disk/cd/usb sticks is not original?  This may drive away those who actually are law obeying, thinking that they are charged for something they didn't do, may as well just start downloading to make its worth.

How can it be illegal if you have to pay a tax on it?

This is eating cake and keeping it too.

IIRC it's innocent until proven guilty, not the other way around.

I'm about to buy one too. I think most people can make do with their phone and a mount. A GoPro might be better, for reliability and wider angle coverage. But I'm looking to record while parked, so will need a dedicated cam, wired to the vehicle battery and wires concealed.

Is it?  I didn't think it was.  :think:  I know it's illegal to download stuff (but you can legally stream it), but I didn't think we had to pay a media tax.

**edit**
So we do.

We have been paying the medi tax for ever now I think,  but its only until recently that to the Conservative government has decided to follow American Copyright Act and making downloading stuff illegal, even though at the same time we still continue to pay the media tax.


Innocence or guilty is not the problem here, it is by making it illegal you open the doors for the media company to sue consumers for a lot of money American style.

By downloading, do you mean movies and music?  Or just about any kind of 'download' is illegal?  That's a really really board spectrum, and sometimes I do see 'free' music for people to download, and composer did claim user can use it for free so as long they give the composer credits--would that be illegal in Canada by definition as well?  :pok:

I assume they now consider downloading copyright infringement, so as long as you have the permission of the artist, composer or whoever has the copyright, the downloading would be legal :P
