Sorry for contributiung to the offtopicness of this thread, but I have
to point out something:  Canadian fair dealing rights ARE stronger --
private copying is explicitly allowed, and the courts have said to
CRIA (Canadian Recording Industriy Association) "piss off!" when they
wanted the identities of "suspected file sharers".  And we have no
DMCA.

As to point #2, I've never heard any such thing and Google knows nothing of it.
