Five months after the law came into effect, after “weeks of private investigation,” Canada has arrested exactly one person for videotaping a movie in a theatre.

One arrest. One.

If the cinema owner in that story is correct that it’s put a major dent in the level of piracy in Montreal, and the movie distributors’ association rep is also correct that the legislation is now working, it appears they’ve arrested the one guy who was Canada’s piracy problem.

Well, phew.
