You noted our recommendation regarding the term of protection. In fact, several countries long ago adopted protection of up to 70 years after the author's death. Consequently, we can't really say that progress has been made. That's a historical decision that was made 20, 25 or 30 years ago. It's up to Canada to catch up in this area.
Some progress has obviously been made on private copying. In Europe, responsibility is enforced when people buy smart phones and tablets because the Europeans recognize what we consider an obvious fact: that people use those tools to make copies and to listen to musical works by streaming them. We can't understand why, in 2018, the tablets and telephones that people readily use to listen to music aren't viewed in the same way as cassettes and blank CDs, for which they agree to pay royalties. Here too, Canada really has some catching up to do.
