You know something? I think we are savvy. We have the number-one computer penetration in the world. We also have the number-one piracy issue virtually in the world. I’ll talk about that. One of the reasons that Canada has such an exponential piracy issue on downloads here is the fact that WIPO, which is a copyright law that is applicable to, I think, 62 countries around the world—is not yet applicable in Canada. Because of that, there’s a bit of a flaw inside the law here—I’ll use the word flaw—whereby uploading is actually legal technically in Canada.

So our consumers are not yet fully embracing— When the courts have said, “Go into the store and steal the candy bar. It’s OK,” you’re going to go into the store and maybe think about it. We haven’t really enacted enough laws here to be able to have a digital business model that’s at pace with the United States and Europe.

But to your question, and the question is, “Are we using MySpace and various other servers, and has there been anything entrepreneurial?” There hasn’t really been anything entrepreneurial locally in Canada yet, so MySpace is very, very active here.
