Globe and Mail, Movie attendance sets record.
According to a Statistics Canada report released Monday, attendance at theatres and drive-ins rose to 125.7 million in 2002-2003, the highest level on record.

So attendence is up but yet the government is busy passing legislation to throw pirates in jail. From Wired, Senate: Toss Film Pirates in Jail :

Those found guilty would face up to three years in prison for a first offense, or five years if it was done for profit. Repeat offenders could spend 10 years behind bars.

HBO CGMSA FAQ:
Commencing in June, HBO will include a technology in its program services that provides copyright protection information to consumer electronic equipment connected to analog outputs of cable and satellite set-top boxes. The technology (CGMS-A -- Content Generation Management System for Analog) enables compliant digital recording devices to abide by federal digital encoding rules.
I understand why HBO wants copy protection however just this weekend I ran into problems with being unable to watch content I had paid for. I'd also wager that SFU came out on all the regular Torrent sites as scheduled and that turning on CGMSA did nothing to slow Internet piracy.
