Can't speak to the why but in practice, nobody ever gets punished for abusing DMCA takedowns even with they use bots to spam fraudulent claims, and it's a widespread practice.
Mid drives are fine, 1500w is a stupid amount of power to put through them on a regular bicycle though. Even half that is more than you need with a decent drive train.
If you go with hub drive though, be sure to add torque arms!
I read it yesterday and no longer have the link handy. I'm having a hard time believing you spent much earnest effort looking for it if you couldn't find it. I searched for "Canada DUI entry law" and it comes up as the first 5 hits at least.
I'm definitely not going to waste my time continuing to debate you though so you believe whatever you like: Your ignorance is not my responsibility or burden.
No but it's easy enough to find. If you are doubting me and genuinely curious, go find it! In fact, if you doubt what I have to say, you should definitely look it up for yourself instead of taking my word for it.
Looking at their rules for it, it actually seems kinda fucked: One bad choice years ago bars you for life unless you are wealthy enough to go through their process and hire lawyers, it's a even crime to try and enter, but that is definitely not a widely known fact, so even though someone might have paid their dues and even been completely sober for years, they're still fucked unless they're well off.
I get wanting to protect people and stop dangerous driving but effectively banning someone for life if they made a mistake and happen to be poor seems a bit unfair. You can bet your ass rich people have all sorts of ways around this that completely circumvent the system anyhow on top of all that.
As usual, it's another regulation that disproportionately affects poor people who are unable to afford proper legal representation to begin with (and are more likely to be falsely convicted of a DUI in the first place).
Dick!
