We hear the Conservatives talk about the right of payment—the copyright—as “tax”. To hear them tell it, the poor companies are being forced to double dip. We're talking about $20 million in artists' royalties. They're saying it's going offshore when it's actually going to publishers. It's part of an international obligation, an international agreement. This is how the industry works.
What do you think about the possibility that the Conservatives don't understand it? Do you think that this attempt to create a copyright as a tax is misrepresenting what it really is?
