Bill C-11 committee  In terms of the money that is collected in relation to reproduction, to receive royalties, there has to be a right recognized in the law. Then, the right is exercised. The Copyright Act gives authors and producers a right of reproduction. So it is producers and authors who receiv

Bill C-11 committee  There are examples you are familiar with. To say that no money goes to the artists is completely false. They receive it under their "author" hat, if they are authors. Yes, there is money that goes outside Canada, as I explained earlier, but there is also money coming into Canada.

Bill C-11 committee  The way we see it is that we don't think that the ISPs are responsible for piracy. I mean, they don't do it, but at some point they authorize it. They provide the public with the means to pirate the CDs. It's not because they are at the source of the piracy, but at the same time,

Bill C-11 committee  First of all, I'm not comfortable with the word “criminal”, okay? We've never said that people who pirate are criminals. They infringe—

Bill C-11 committee  Yes, I would like to add something on the question of reproduction rights. I do not know whether you want me to talk about that, but there are four things I would like to say on the subject of mechanical reproduction. There are half-truths and things being half-said here. We are

Bill C-11 committee  In any event, we will come back to the right of reproduction, or at least I hope so.

Bill C-11 committee  To come back to your question, it is clear that, to us, the best option was to uphold the expansion of the private copying regime. You say that people do not support that idea, but certainly if you ask someone to pay a fee they did not have to pay before, they are going to refuse

Bill C-11 committee  To begin, we would like to talk about the liability of ISPs or Internet service providers. For ISPs, the only consequence of Bill C-11, as you know, is requiring them to notify an offender when rights owners report potential infringements of their rights. That scheme thus places
