To ensure that artists are properly compensated, shouldn't the focus be on ensuring that artists receive dollars and not pennies? And would you not agree it's important to ensure that the legal market for music, and the legitimate purchase of music, is bolstered and protected? In some European countries that have implemented legislation similar to Bill C-32, the legal market for music has been further supported and bolstered and protected. Are you familiar with those examples, and would you agree that's where the focus should be?
