One thing I don’t like is that the opinions in the ruling suggest that and IP address is equivalent to an identity, which I’m not sure has been established nor makes sense
I am not a lawyer, but as far as I understand it: it has been established Canadian law that your IP address is part of the right to privacy that you have as a person in Canada.
It came from efforts by the RIAA and MPAA to get Canadian IP addresses through the courts, where they were rebuffed.
I think I remember it already being established that it doesn’t. It was one of the reasons (along with damages getting capped) why the piracy lawsuits never really caught on as a thing in Canada.
