Right here in the USA, Bob. Perhaps a Canadian can tell us how it works
there, but I believe their law is similar in that regard. It's a way of
preventing the criminalization of every college student :-) Here's the
applicable section:
........
Section 1008. Prohibition on certain infringement actions

No action may be brought under this title alleging infringement of
copyright based on the manufacture, importation, or distribution of a
digital audio recording device, a digital audio recording medium, an analog
recording device, or an analog recording medium, or based on the
noncommercial use by a consumer of such a device or medium for making
digital musical recordings or analog musical recordings.
