I though the max they could get was 5000? I also though that made it so it wasn't worth there time. I now in the US they would ask for millions and then settle out of court. Here it doesn't seem like the numbers line up.

I like how they worded it not more the $50,000 when they are limited by the law which allows for "a sum of not less than $100 or more than $5,000 as the court considers just." for all non-commercial infringement. So they get $5000 max out of someone torrenting a movie.

I love how these are worded to scare you.

Is it 2005?

I thought this sort of case had been dead in the water for decades.

An IP address does not identify a person.

Is there case law in Canada that deems the account owner as the infringing person without any actual evidence?

Guess I'm not going to be watching/paying for anything Ryan Reynolds in the future. He made that one easy for me, his shtick was getting old anyways.

There's nothing indicating that Reynolds has anything to do with this, nor any reason to believe he could have anything to do with this. Only the rights holders can bring legal actions over copyright. Acting in a movie doesn't make Reynolds the rights holder.

I really don't feel like I should even be having to explain this.

Yes it should be a crime to subject other people to Ryan Reynolds movies.
