nomen, sorry for the delay in reading your torrent answer. I think you covered it pretty well. I don't know anything about Canadian law - from an American perspective I'd worry that if it wasn't possible to charge directly for copyright infringement then it a fallback might be to charge for conspiracy to commit as the total action of a collection of folks participating in the torrent would cross the threshold for copyright infringement. IANAL

@JasonAller No prob. Right, I was only asking about and answering about copyright infringement. Whether there would be other charges is a separate question.
