    I mean, you’ve got to realize that almost everywhere in the world, the idea that avoiding prosecution because you’re not profiting from IP infringement is a myth, which was my point there.

    But fair enough, maybe you’re somewhere that won’t enforce copyright.

      So apparently they changed the law in Canada in 2012 and now for noncommercial sharing you could be held liable for up to 5000$ for all works not per work. Commercial is per work. So I doubt anyone has been got for non-commerical. But I do know they come done hard on commercial sharing.
