Canada leads in online music piracy

hmmmmm

Music sales in Canada dropped 4% in 2005 to $536 million, the Canadian Recording Industry Assn. reported Thursday. The dip is part of a 10-year decline that the CRIA blames on illegal music downloading. Canada hasn’t updated copyright legislation to cover digital music. Consequently, it has the highest online piracy rate per capita in the world, according to the Intl. Federation of the Phonographic Industry; the CRIA says 1.6 billion music files are swapped annually.

Must be nice to not have to worry about the RIAA beating your door down because of that bootlegged Fifty Cent eh? ;)
