Not sure...
but it sounds like YOU were just appointed or elected the Canadian Supreme Justice system. First, the US laws are NOT much different from anyone's else laws concerning copyrighted material. If fact, many of the arguments you state were either transpired by or decided by a US court case. The judge in this case went beyond the norm and made a pretty darn good ruling, in my opinion. But it is not over yet.

The main problem with this, for the most part, is abstinence of the laws mingled with constitution and bill of rights. Basically, one good lawyer can twist things around and make the judge believe one thing... they do it every single second, as we breath! That is their job... just like a prosecutor will do anything to get that conviction (even though they prolly know it's wrong or possibly the defendant is innocent). The justice systems are just to bloated, too corporate corrupt, too unaccountable for their rulings and certainly judges are gonna get paid regardless of their duty to uphold the law of the land or not. The appeals process is worse!

This Canadian judge made a decent ruling, but I predict it won't last long or go far... the RIAA and MPAA corporations are very wealthy, very powerful, and very desperate...

What needs to happen (but it won't because a majority of people are afraid to .. umm.. fight city hall).. is to protest these bloated corporations and courts period! Whether you are in US, Canda or Jabip...

When it starts hitting the 6 o'clock news that the RIAA or MPAA or whoever just filed suit to little Suzie for sharing her Britney Spears song, that was just playing on the radio 2 minutes ago... perhaps people (judges and lawmakers) will maybe take the time to look into this...

The RIAA and such are nazi-acting criminals and they are out of hand....
