If anyone still uses a bit torrent client, it's wise to pay attention to the new "trolls" out there trawling the 'net... For the longest time it seemed Canadians were pretty immune to copyright infringement penalties but times are a changing it seems.
For anyone interested, here is a very good thread to read/skim through:

Long story short, if you're not using a VPN or proxy watch out - people in Toronto are being served via registered mail (physical mail, not the notice-of-notice emails you may be used to receiving from your ISP) and are being scared into settling for $3000-$4000.
Hundreds if not thousands of "John or Jane Does" have been identified (but probably not yet served) for a bunch of movies and the "proving grounds" have begun.
Even some android box apps use bittorrent as their delivery method, so stay informed and watch out!
