   Hi here is the text :
   http://www2.parl.gc.ca/H...ocid=3570473&file=4
   
   I want to let you know about the 500$... before it was 200$
   
   "Clause 30: (1) Existing text of subsection 38.1(2):
   (2) Where a copyright owner has made an election under subsection (1) and the defendant satisfies the court that the defendant was not aware and had no reasonable grounds to believe that the defendant had infringed copyright, the court may reduce the amount of the award to less than $500, but not less than $200."
   
   Replaced for :
   
   "(1.1) If a copyright owner has made an election under subsection (1), a defendant who is an individual is liable for statutory damages of $500 in respect of all the defendant’s infringements that were done for the defendant’s private purposes and that are involved in the proceedings."
   
   They remove the "i wasnt know i was illegal" from the text and double the amend... rely better for costumer? in our face ya....
