	Canadian recording industry officially promises not to sue CD copiers [Politech]
		CRIA argued that home taping resulted in millions of dollars in lost revenue each year.
		Should this provision become law, Canadians would pay tens of millions of dollars in levy fees, yet they would be precluded from copying their CDs onto their iPods or, in the case of "copy-controlled" CDs, making any private copies at all.
		Industry Minister David Emerson and Canadian Heritage Minister Liza Frulla have indicated that the government plans later this year to consult on the future of private copying.

	Digital Copyright Terminology
		Canadian Heritage has a mandate to protect Canadian culture, so they tend to appreciate the importance of access to works and the Public Domain.
		Industry Canada has a mandate to protect Canadian industry, so they tend to emphasise the value to industry of Intellectual Property and don't tend to see the value in the Public Domain or the cost of IP to the audiences.
		Essentially, the recording industry managed to convince the government that they should be compensated for any unauthorized copying of their copyrighted material that goes on within the privacy of people's homes.

		Henderson explains that while the Court found that CRIA would require additional evidence before proceeding with the 29 actions filed to date, "The court has clearly articulated the evidentiary standards that we need to meet and we are satisfied that we can meet those standards in future applications.

	boycott-riaa.com - Article: Canadian music uploaders to be sued
		Posted by in Industry News on December 16, 2003 at 7:46 PM The millions of Canadians who share music files on the Internet should be prepared for the possibility of facing a lawsuit early in the new year, the head of the Canadian Recording Industry Association said yesterday.
		The Canadian recording industry currently receives a tariff on blank media such as MP3 players and recordable compact discs in order to compensate music companies for music sales lost to piracy.
		Jay Thomson, president of the Ottawa-based Canadian Association of Internet Providers says if the suit is successful, consumers could see an increase in their Internet costs and a slowdown in the transmission speed of their Internet communications.

	Piercing the peer–to–peer myths: An examination of the Canadian experience
		Considering that the Canadian royalty loss for all lost sales is no more than C$2 million annually, it is apparent that the private copying levy, once distributed, provides Canadian artists with more than adequate compensation for their losses due to copying that occurs on peer–to–peer systems.
		Although CRIA accounts (by its own estimate) for 95 percent of the sound recordings manufactured and sold in Canada, the vast majority of Canadian artists actually get their start with smaller, independent labels [28].
		Following years of lobbying by CRIA, a new reality is only now coming to light — music downloading is not responsible for the ills of the music industry and Canadian artists have not been harmed by the sales declines that have occurred over the past five years.

		CRIA spokesperson Julie Wright would not confirm whether the Canadian recording industry group is poised to take legal action, but she did indicate it is a possibility.
		When asked whether the industry group is working with Canadian ISPs, some of which recently announced they would provide user information on alleged uploaders if requested by a court, Wright declined to answer.

		However, recent Canadian and U.S. studies concluded that the music industry practice of suing families and their children who use P2P applications is having zero effect.
		As the new CRIA head, Henderson will "continue to lobby the Minister of Canadian Heritage, Liza Frulla, to push forward the May 12 recommendations of the Standing Committee on Canadian Heritage," according to the CRIA.
		WIPO threatens to bring Canada under something akin to the entertainment industry- inspired Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA), which is wreaking havoc in the U.S. It's a pity (from the CRIA's point of view) that former heritage minister Helene Chalifour Scherrer isn't still around.

		The Canadian Recording Industry Association plans to appeal a Federal Court of Canada ruling yesterday that not only denied CRIA's request to force ISPs to turn over some customer records of alleged file-swappers but also said downloading and uploading in Canada do not infringe copyright.
		In addition to the appeal, look for the record industry in Canada to engage in some serious lobbying and public relations work with the goal of convincing Ottawa lawmakers to change copyright laws to be, perhaps, more like those in the U.S., where record companies have had great success suing what it calls music pirates.

	Canadian recording industry may follow in RIAA footsteps (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-18)
		Apparently impressed by the success that the RIAA has had suing preteens and grandmothers for file-sharing, the Canadian Recording Industry Association is threatening to bust out the lawyer stick north of the border.
		Despite the recent ruling by the Copyright Board of Canada that P2P downloading is legal, the CRIA believes that the copyright laws in Canada are irrelevant because they were created prior to the advent of P2P sharing and may choose to challenge the ruling in court.
		Similar to the RIAA, the CRIA seems overly willing to pin the blame for revenue losses solely on file sharing, choosing to overlook other causes such as high prices, an economic downturn, and rampant piracy in many parts of Asia.

		CRIA General Counsel Richard Pfohl in a statement picked up by CNET's News.com said: "In our view, the copyright law in Canada does not allow people to put hundreds or thousands of music files on the Internet for copying, transmission and distribution to millions of strangers."
		Last month, the industry association took five Internet Service Providers to Federal Court in an attempt to force them to disclose the names and addresses of 29 people alleged to have shared hundreds of songs with others using programs like Kazaa.

		In making the announcement, the music industry cited its multi-year effort to educate the public about the illegality of unauthorized downloading, and underscored the fact that major music companies have made vast catalogues of music available to dozens of services to help create legitimate, high quality and inexpensive alternatives to online piracy.
