To move further on this though, the Canadians are reach here at best with threats of a legal action. Facebook is not a Canadian Company and has not based itself inside of Canada. With this in mind, Canada can file it's suits inside of a Canadian court, but it has to enforce them and if Facebook wants to thumb their noses to Canada, they can.

A similiar situation happened when the US attempted to force a UK company to comply with US laws (it was internet based also). The UK company responded see more with... "Great, take us to court, we won't show up so you'll win, by the way we'll spend just as much paying you as we do in showing up...."

How do you expect Canada to enforce any judgement against a company that is located in Australia? Do you really think the Australian Government is going to care? This sounds to much like Canada trying to force it's opinions on the rest of the world and all of us Americans know where that gets you.

In the end it comes down to this. You did a search to find a software to build a site and you CAME to the Boonex site. On the Boonex site you downloaded the software for free and then you chose to use it for free or to purchase a license (I don't know which you did) and as such you conducted business inside of Australia, not inside of Canada. So, if you want to press the issue of privacy, go look up the Australian laws on it, better shot with those than with the Canadian laws. Heck, even the US laws in the end can't do a thing about it, as they are not based in the US.
