Canada Prohibits Piracy Settlement Demands in ISP Copyright Notices - TorrentFreak

Submitted via IRC for SoyCow1984

The rules for Canada's notice-and-notice regime will change following the passing of C-86, the Budget Implementation Act. Moving forward, rightsholders will not be allowed to send copyright infringement notices for ISPs to pass onto their customers, if they contain a direct or indirect offer to settle. The development effectively ends Rightscorp-style business models in Canada.
