I'd like to ask you about the blank copying levy for a minute. As someone who survived on copyright royalties for many years, I've always thought this was a very progressive step that Canada had taken. I understand that some of the large record industry representatives are now down on the blank copying levy, even though it's a guaranteed form of providing remuneration to artists.
Again, looking at the United States, where we've seen copyright laws being used to sue 12-year-old kids in the schoolyard who trade Alanis Morissette CDs, I'm wondering, is there a push within your department to remove the blank copying levy? That would mitigate any damages that would be used against a large label if they were suing kids.
So my question is, are we going to stand firm and insist that the blank copying levy remains intact, will it be added to, or will it be cut ?
