This legislation is nothing but a rip-off of the rights of the citizens of this country.
Copyright law was originally established to protect the rights of citizens, while balancing incentive for invention/innovation/creativity. It gave the originator 7 years. Thats it. No royalty for life nonsense No portofolio for Michael Jackson, no Beatles royalties continuing to enrich the pockets of Paul McCartney. Hey, he is a nice guy but does society want to continue its over-excessive riches for the few?
One copy of a purchased song/cd is ridiculous. For ages, one could make as many copies as they wanted so long it is for personal use. Why change it?
If one lives in a big city in Canada, there are plenty of FM stations to listen to music on--for free. But not in Gimli Manitoba, or Creston, BC. This will mean as the public is forced to turn on the old FM radios once again, the vast majority of the Canadian landscape will have to go back to the stone age--listening to AM skip.
