This might make it a bit more clear. The heart of the new technology was reproduction devices, tapes, cassettes, CDs, whatever way people could duplicate sound and video, copyrighted stuff. There are countries in the world where the tax on the sale of each individual one of those things isn't really a tax at all; it's a fee that goes directly back to the people who created the content that goes on to those things.
If I have it correctly, in Canada that tax goes to the general pool of the Canadian coffers. That's a simple step. I would say that we should get that money directly.
In 1982, nobody was using a cassette tape for anything, or 99% of the usage of cassette tapes was to copy my songs. Five years later, that was the case with burning CDs. Right now that happens on the Internet.
As Graham said, for anyone who is looking for someone's song, the top hits are free. It's the policing and the taxing and then the redistribution of the funds that come directly from it back to the people who created the content that people are copying or streaming for nothing. That's the specific thing that I think all of us would like to see happen.
