It would be an interesting case. I hope it goes to court but there's probably no chance that it will unless somebody takes it on pro bono. Is there any organization like the EFF in Canada?



There's an update at the bottom of the linked Geocoder page that says the site is now being represented in federal court by the Canadian Internet Policy and Public Interest Clinic.

There's more info about CIPPIC at http://www.cippic.ca/en


There is no EFF equivalent in Canada.

But the CIPPIC is acting as counsel for these guys. They know what they are doing and are the closest I can see.


The EFF is an international foundation. They're only based in the US.


I emailed the EFF, pointing at that blog-post. I hope they will at least provide some counseling to the guys.
