That's it; the board will verify the frequency at which it is used to copy music. Based on that, it will establish the value of the copies made. For example, a copy made on a blank CD has a certain value. It will assess various criteria to determine what value the copy made on an MP3 medium will have. Once that is established, it will then do repertory studies to determine what percentage of works are used, where those works come from and, at that point, will allocate the amounts between the Songwriters Association of Canada, the performers and the producers, but it's a very complex process.
