Last month it was discovered that studios like Sony, Fox and Warner as well as the Department of Homeland Security United States, the official residence of the French Presidency and the RIAA itself usually download copyrighted content network. Now it was revealed that the honorable Parliament of Canada is also a place where piracy of digital files is done.
The complaint was made by the Canadian arm of the Pirate Party, which had access to some of the content downloaded by politicians and their supporters in recent months of November and December. Among the material downloaded files are movies, music, programs and books.
"The Pirate Party of Canada found ample evidence of copyright violations in parliament (...) The information was discovered through the same IP tracking methods used by the RIAA and MPAA to find addresses of computers to enter lawsuits," said the guild in statement. They also recall that in early 2011 Canadian providers were forced to hand over user data due to downloads of the movie "War on Terror."
"It's quite ironic that this same group is working to toughen the laws of copyright infringement," said Travis McCrea, candidate for governor of Vancouver by the party in recent elections. "Like the case of the process of 'War on Terror', the report shows that the content was downloaded, but does not indicate exactly who did it," the political ends.
