For instance, I pay Bell for my Internet services at home. I also pay Bell for my mobile network services. I also pay Bell for my television services. Those are three different services, three different uses of Bell's service offerings that I consume, and I pay separately three times. Because I pay for my Internet service at home, it doesn't mean I've already paid Bell and that I don't, then, need to pay them for my mobile network services. Similarly with rights holders, copyright is a bundle of rights, and every stream of income from a copyright is essential to cobble together, hopefully, a living so that you can continue to create and produce and thrill Canadians and the world with your work. With respect, private copying levies are payment for a service, for that service that's different from any other use. So, yes, we should get paid when our work is streamed. We should get paid when our work is used in audiovisual works. We should also get paid when people make private copies for their own use, because if the copies didn't have value, then no one would make them.
