And here I thought Canada was just the 51st state

This article on the Canadian Recording Industry Association feeling that the tax on recordable media is making Canadians think they free to copy music delivered some interesting comments in the forum discussion...
All13d commented:
Since when do you have to pay the industry in order to make a second copy for private use? Fair use, anyone?
Which was hilariously rebutted by danchr:
There's this thing called a “border” between the United States and Canada, and they are what is called “sovereign countries”. This means that Canadian laws apply to Canada, and American laws to the U.S. To my knowledge, “fair use” is an exclusively American concept. Canadian legislators could in principle ban any and all copying of anything, whatsoever, should they see so fit. Even though the U.S. laws may not recognise this, they have no validity outside the bounds of the United States of America.
I don't know why Americans get a reputation of thinking our laws are the only ones that matter.
