A forensic software company says they have the information of millions of Canadians they claim have downloaded pirated content.

Canipre, hired by motion picture and recording industries say a recent court decision forcing Internet providers to release subscriber names and details, is only the beginning of a crackdown on illegal downloading.

Director Barry Logan says thousands of Canadians could soon be targeted for illegally downloading digital content through peer to peer file sharing and BitTorrent sites.

And if you’re found guilty, you could be shelling out up to $5,000.

Logan tells The Calgary Herald, many ignore the warnings from their Internet service providers that they are doing something illegal.
