Industry committee  That's right. In Canada, those negotiations are usually validated by the Copyright Board.

Industry committee  That's right.

Industry committee  No, we do not assume anything of the sort.

Industry committee  We are suggesting that these royalties be charged at the time of purchase. That is the system in Europe and it is very widespread. Here is a list of countries: Germany, Austria, Belgium, Croatia, France, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Portugal and Switzerland have all adopted p

Industry committee  I do not know the details of how the system works. I can tell you though that the current system does not work. Several countries have adopted enhanced content protection measures, whether a notice and take down or a notice and stay down system. Let me also say in answer to your

Industry committee  Property rights exist for just about everything we own. After death, ownership is transferred to one's children. If I buy a house, it is passed on to my children when I die. So property rights do not end after a certain date. That is my answer to your question.

Industry committee  It is the same thing, actually. The duration of protection is usually transferred to the children. I think that, in the Bern Convention, the idea of protection for 70 years, or for two generations of descendants, was to protect the work created. That is the idea behind the 70 yea

Industry committee  It also generates revenues for companies. It is not just individuals who can hold copyright. Music publishing companies, for instance, can control copyright. Property does not have an end date, generally speaking. It seems strange that copyright does.

Industry committee  I think Canada is lagging behind in many ways. The term of protection is 50 years everywhere. It's 70 years in the OECD countries, the U.S. and Europe. Piracy is the weakest thing. Notice and notice is the weakest we can imagine. We need, at least, notice and take down. The rate

Industry committee  Yes, you can do whatever you want.

Industry committee  I was not referring to content filters but what they have done in Europe, especially concerning article 13. They said that it's a communication to the public even if the work has been uploaded by a user. Right now, if I put something online, it's protected. If it's user-generate

Industry committee  Yes, exactly, and there would be higher rates for the whole music industry, all the content online, and I think that's what they're going after in Europe, making YouTube and others pay more to right holders.

Industry committee  I'm not familiar with the example. I know who Aretha Franklin is and I know the song. I think there's copyright on the song, but there's also remuneration coming out of the recording of the song. I think she probably made money with the recording of the song. I'm not familiar wit

Industry committee  I don't think it would be necessary to be in the law. The composers don't have to sign an assignment of rights to work with a music publisher, and they don't even need to work with a music publisher because some people do their own business by themselves. There's nothing in the

Industry committee  I'm not very familiar with the Copyright Board's procedures, because mostly it's the collective administration societies that go in front of the Copyright Board. To my understanding it's mostly like a tribunal that sets the rates, so it's very technical. I'm not sure that musici
