The Globe and Mail's Download Decade continues with a look at the ethics of piracy, including a short documentary that asks Canadians to compare copyright infringement with jaywalking and stealing a chocolate bar. The series also reprints the infamous 2007 Pirates of the Canadians article, which played a crucial role in the lobby efforts to establish anti-camcording legislation in Canada.
