US legislators condemned Canada, China, Mexico, Russia and Spain for failing to crack down on piracy of movies, music, videogames and other copyrighted works.
Theft of intellectual property in the five nations was at "alarming levels," the Congressional International Anti-Piracy Caucus said, placing them at the top of the "2010 International Piracy Watch List" for the second year in a row.
The caucus said Canada is a "leading host" of illegal file-sharing sites and its "enforcement record continues to fall short of what should be expected of our neighbor and largest trading partner."
"At one point in 2009, five of the world's top 10 illegitimate 'bittorrent' sites were registered, located, or operated out of Canada," it said.
