Canadians Being Wrongfully Dinged For Piracy

“At the start of 2015, a new Canadian law came into effect called the notice-and-notice system. It requires that all internet service providers forward copyright infringement notices to customers suspected of downloading unauthorized content like movies and TV shows. The purpose of the notice system is to discourage piracy — not to get cash. But right away, some anti-piracy companies started sending letters to suspected pirates, asking them to pay a settlement fee — sometimes hundreds of dollars.”
