To answer your question, I'm not really sure of the definition of that term. Based on the one I've been given, they're creators who depend on platforms as a priority distribution method.
However, based on that definition, the music sector is digital first. So we have to pay attention to the meanings we attach to words and expressions. I'd like to take this opportunity to say that Digital First Canada doesn't represent all online content creators, at least, definitely not the music sector.
What troubles me is the lack of consideration the platforms give to local music. They need to do more for us. We're opposed to any change in the act that might limit the CRTC's power to ensure we benefit from regulations made under Bill C‑11.
However, if, at the regulation stage, some audiovisual content producers from outside the music sector are opposed to having undertakings' content distribution regulated, I'm sure the CRTC will take that into account. In fact, when we tell the CRTC that there's no point in regulating an activity, it generally tends not to do it. Our criticism in the past 20 years has been that it hasn't regulated certain activities enough.
Consequently, I don't think that creators who don't want to be protected by regulations have anything to fear—
