...may be premature. The labels can still sue P2P uploaders (their original tactic) in both the US and Canada; they just have to get a traditional subpoena, from a judge, in order to file the suit. Assuming the ruling of the three-judge panel from the Third Circuit holds.
What the RIAA had been up to involved provisions of the Digital Millenium Copyright Act (thank you, Clinton!) that, they claimed, allowed them to demand the identities of "copyright violators" directly from the ISP, without a court order. The panel has ruled that this claim is specious. Back to the judge for your subpoenas, boys.
That said, I'm all in favor of raising a toast to Canada. Just look at that Canadian dollar go!
