I'd just double the time it takes for each try.

First bad password: 1 second to retry.
Second bad password: 2 seconds to retry.
Third bad password: 4 seconds to retry.
Fourth bad password: 8 seconds to retry.
Fifth bad password: 16 seconds to retry.

You get the idea. It'll end brute-force and only mildly inconvenience clueless users with fat fingers.

Max damages in Canada are $5000 for all your piracy ever.

That means they can only sue you in small claims court.

If you go to small claims by yourself and the other guy sends a dozen lawyers, the judge will almost always find in favour of the guy by himself. A really good judge will take 50+ hours to do so in order to mess up the team of lawyers.

Also I have electrical tape over my laptop's camera.

I think it was more that he pretend to be a close contact THEN got the nudes / semi-nudes and then used those for different blackmail.

"Hey, Dgat, it's your friend cduffy. Listen, I've been having a weird problem and I don't know if I can afford a clinic. Can you show me if this looks normal?"

"Hey, Dgat, it's your friend cduffy. I heard you went bra shopping. Let me see! "

"It's really Beardo. Send $100 to PayPal or I'll mail this to your boss."

You're FSM-right we don't. We're supposed to be the good guys here.

This asshole (allegedly) blackmailed 350 people. I say allegedly because he hasn't been convicted in a court of law, which again, is the way we do things around here. You know, in motherfucking civilization.

This is not the victim's fault. What the hell is wrong with you people?
