Is music file swapping legal or illegal in canada???
Like downloading music on Limewire
first answer is wrong.
the law is pretty clear (but subject to interpretation) regarding copyrights and creation of derivative works, which is what you are asking about.
you download, you hold your chances.
see chillingeffects.org for details
It's legal for the person downloading the music, it's forbidden for the person who is allowing the downloading.
EDIT:
While Barry C may be an "industry analyst" he has no knowledge of Canadian imperative.
It is legal to download:
