Hey, TK, you're right; I forgot to mention that copying CDs is legal in Canada, but only for personal use. An interesting little illustration of this was made on an official Canadian Copyright Board website, where it said that if you were to rob a CD store and take a bunch of CDs and copy them, you would be charged with robbery, not piracy.

Check out these links:

A good explanation of the Canadian copyright levy
