Canada is apparently still considering the idea of a “three strikes and your out” policy for filesharing offenders. Michael Geist, a professor from the University of Ottawa, said that he found a French government document containing information about Canada being a country negotiating the three-strikes filesharing policy with ISPs.

It’s funny because the Canadian government hasn’t acknowledged any such negotiations. Could it be that the French have made a filesharing mistake, or is the Canadian government working covertly to outlaw illegal filesharing. It’s anybody’s guess.

The Canadian government has yet to release a statement, so we’ll have to wait and see how this one pans out. It would be certainly be a point of concern if the Canadian government is working in secret to come up with ways to beat filesharing.

How do our Canadian readers feel about such a possibility?
