Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for being here.
I think it's important for this committee to hear in the real world how artists and writers and filmmakers and producers actually earn a living, because for every Degrassi out there, there are a lot of producers and directors and writers who are still struggling.
I'd like to start by congratulating all of you for your success and for the ability and capacity you've brought to your respective industries. I think it's really important. I know you're all active as mentors as well; that's important too.
I want to pick up on a couple of comments for some clarification, first of all with respect to mashups.
Mr. Stohn, your feeling is that in your world, at least in terms of Degrassi, mashups have been really helpful. It's in a sense the community conversation, if you will.
In your view, is this practice monetized? In other words, are people doing this for commercial uses?
