Things I learned lately 2 Feb

• Copyright notices from big entertainment are no longer legally permitted to ask for a cash settlement to avoid legal action in Canada. If, as a Canadian, you are accused via an anonymous notice of sharing or accessing copyrighted material online, it is simply meant as a warning. You are under no legal obligation to do anything. Your ISP isn't even required to tell the accuser who you are. Nor is there any surefire way to permanently link a named person to an IP address.
• A 96-year-old Holocaust survivor is the front woman for the death metal band Inge & the TritoneKings (pictured).
• In 1918, Margaret Sanger was trying to promote contraception for women and was sent to jail for being a public nuisance. 
• In 1919, the Eiffel tower was the tallest building in the world.
• In 1919 women could finally vote in the US for the first time. Women Canada-wide would get the vote in 1921, but not Asian or aboriginal women.
• In 1919 movies were silent and Charlie Chaplin was THE movie star.
• In the 1918–19 season, the Montreal Canadiens of the NHL (only 3 teams!) faced the Seattle Metropolitans of the Pacific Coast Hockey Association for the Stanley Cup amid the Spanish influenza pandemic. The series was called off after 5 games when numerous players became ill. Joe Hall of the Canadiens, died a few weeks later.
• In 1919 the US finally had Air Mail. The aircraft followed arrows formed on the ground when there were no landmarks to identify the route (very common in the prairies and foothills).
