The simple fact of the matter is the US holds the letter of the law and Canada will attempt to mold the letter of the law if it doesnt like its results.
Piracy is very easy to solve, the Federal Government of Canada should set up a division, say one or two people to check sites and to block those sites from Canadian internet access. There are 4 main Internet ports in to Canada, (UofA, UBC, UofT, and one in Ottawa or Quebec). You could easily block those sites from the source.
Problem is the NIMBY's who fear anything that harbours freedom of "insert whatever buzz word is popular at the time".

Downloading music is grey. Making copyrighted files available illegally is illegal. Is it illegal to download from allofmp3.com? Is it illegal for me to get mp3s p2p of CDs I already own?
Block 4 internet ports? Umm, are you that naive to think that would work? Have you ever heard of peer 2 peer?
This article was about artists deciding to disassociate themselves with a group that supports infringes on consumers fair use of what they buy. The artists think the letter of the law should not be enforced, but you do? Is that what you are saying?
