Re:It's so logical (Score 1)

IIRC, it wasn't the Privacy Act (PIPEDA), because there is an exception in it that says a court order overrules any consent to disclose rules. What it was is that (1) the judge said the file sharers did nothing wrong (he'll get overruled on appeal though, where they'll find that uploading but not downloading is illegal) and (2) the evidence tying the P2P user names to the ISP accounts was garbage (wrong affiant, not clearly tying IP addresses to users etc.).
