Technically file sharing is legal. Copyright infringement is not. But they don't separate between the two on RFD.

There's also a lot of inconsistent policies here. For example, you can't list torrent sites, yet it's acceptable to link to copyright infringing material on Youtube.... go figure.

So can I ask on RFD: "Where is the best site to download (i.e. file share) in Canada?"?

If copyright infringement is illegal, is file sharing illegal?

Madchester said it: "you can't list torrent sites".
So that was my question. Asked & answered.
Many thanks,
Bob
