You've said a mouthfull. The net has become somewhat of an equalizer for musicians. With places like CDBaby, they can make their own price and sell quality music without so many levels of middlemen.

Yep. :P
Anyway, the RIAA seems to be slowing down a bit. I think they're gonna do something big, unnecessary and annoying in the next few weeks. Therefore, prepared to be shocked at how much I can swear/censor in this thread.

I am glad I live in Canada. We have no fear of the RIAA
In 1998 the Copyright Act in Canada was changed to allowed consumers to make copies of music works legally. The following is a quote from the Copyright Act
80. (1) Subject to subsection (2), the act of reproducing all or any substantial part of
(a) a musical work embodied in a sound recording,
(b) a performer's performance of a musical work embodied in a sound recording, or
(c) a sound recording in which a musical work, or a performer's performance of a musical work, is embodied
onto an audio recording medium for the private use of the person who makes the copy does not constitute an infringement of the copyright in the musical work, the performer's performance or the sound recording.
With this change came a levy (tax?) on recordable medium in 2000. The current levy on CD-Rs is 21¢ each. There is a proposal to increase the levy and to expand the mediums the levy applies to including MP3 storage. For further details see http://neil.eton.ca/copylevy.shtml.
To me the long and short of this issue in Canada I can make copies of any musical work for my personal use legally without fear of penalty.

Why should I fight? As long as the recording industry applies the levy I can make personal copies of music without fear of a lawsuit. By charging a levy/tax they agree that I legally can make copies of music. No RIAA worries in Canada.

Because, they are charging you money shit they assume you are doing -- now if you are pirating music then -smack! That's your own business but for people that use cds exclusively for data archival for instance -- they have to pay the levee too and they arent pirating music.
'sides its friggen ridicioulus that our own government assumes that all cds are going to be put to use by music pirates and charge people tax. What's next, charging more gas tax because people might be using cars to 'run drugs' or something? Geez, Canada's a nice place and all and i love her but f!ck, sometimes the government is just so stupid and beaurcraitcal

Hi Praetor
[quote}'sides its friggen ridicioulus that our own government assumes that all cds are going to be put to use by music pirates and charge people tax.[/quote}]
The Copyright Board told the CPCC who wanted to almost triple the levy on blank cdrs that they did not have enough evidence to support their position on how much music copying existed. The 97 page report which I read on Saturday is quite detailed on how the Board arrived at its decision. The CPCC would like section 80 of the Copyright act to be applied in its narrowest terms. The Copyright Board said that the Government when they enacted the new Copyright Act was not limiting how or where people obtained their music to copy. Before this new copyright act come into existance it was illegal to make copies of musical works without the copyright owners permission. The new copyright act makes it much easier to obtain permission from the copyright holder if need be. It is a tough job to balance the practice of the people with the owners of the copyright when it comes to music. Laws are never fair to all. This one I think is a fair compromise.

About gas prices..... wow they change like every goddamn second... They never did that back in England. WTF is it with milk in bags and gas prices changing rapidly. Look, I don't mean to be rude... but I don't understand Canadian logic lol.

CRIA just announced they've picked their first 40 as-yet-unnamed victims to be sued. Huge levies AND getting sued. Isn't life grand?
Hope this clears things up for those who figured there was actually a difference between RIAA and CRIA.

The law in Canada essentially means that you can Download music off the web legally (for now at least), you just can't share it. And the RIAA can only sue you if you are in the US.
"Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger."
