Canadian Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement (Canadian Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement), a Canadian intellectual property rights company, issued a press release on January 5 telling about a new program for tracking “piracy” on the Internet and sending notifications to providers users.

In the official blog of the company , which is maintained by the managing director of CANIPRE, Barry Logan , there are not only press releases of the company, but also articles from many different sources are quoted. And not always the author or source of these articles is indicated, and sometimes articles that are only available by subscription are copied completely.

It seems that this case falls under the old American saying about people living in glass houses, while throwing stones at the windows of others. It is very easy to blame others for their actions, but at the same time forgiving yourself the same thing when it suits you.
