"Canadians who illegally download music, movies and other copyright material may no longer be able to hide from potential lawsuits.
In a groundbreaking decision released Thursday by Canada's Federal Court, the Internet service provider TekSavvy Solutions was ordered to release to Voltage Pictures LLC the names and addresses of more than 2,000 Internet users suspected of pirating movies. Voltage is a Hollywood production company that has made films including 'The Hurt Locker,' which won six Oscars, and the upcoming 'American Heist.'"
[Ed. Note] Apparently this is a dupe.

Get off my lawn, n00b! Hey, editor here. Yeah, I messed up. It has been a busy day. First I had like 3 cups of coffee. Then I was playing our idle rpg game all day on #irpg at our IRC server, irc.sylnt.us. Then I was trolling noobs.
The fact is, with a completely different title I didn't recognize it. Congratulations to those who identified this error and pointed it out to us. Thanks for doing so, and thanks for reading. ~mattie_p

With a uid as low as that, you have been here long enough to know that you need at least 4 more cups of coffee.
As an aside, I am utterly enjoying this site, it feels just like that other site did 14 years ago. Thanks!

Poor form, mattie_p!
You know we're supposed to wait till a 3-digit UID pops up thinking he's something special, then let loose, but you just had to jump the gun...
