Also note that in Canada, the private copying
levy on all blank media means that if you
have legally acquired content, then you are
allowed to copy it once for personal use.
Some legal experts have suggested that this
includes borrowing the source DVD from the
library.
This explains why large media companies, who
originally pushed for the levy (currently
$0.29/blank DVD) are now lobbying to have it
eliminated.

This is great. I think I'm going to start
using it in my talks. I always talk about the
false FBI warnings, but never used a visual
before.
