First, we recommend that the private copying regime also be extended to the digital audio devices that make the copying of music possible, not just to blank CDs, as is the case today.
Creators should be paid royalties for the use of their work, regardless of the medium used.
Second, we recommend limiting the free exceptions and reinstating subsection 30.9(6) of the Copyright Act, which was repealed in 2012. Removing that subsection contributed to significantly reducing the tariffs paid by radio to performers.
The exceptions in place do not meet the requirements of the three-step test imposed by international treaties. Artisti is asking the legislator to correct this situation.
