This story is wrong. (Score 1)

OK someone needs to do some checking on this before its blindly reported. 1/ The Songwriters association of Canada, is another collective front for the CRIA, the Canadian RIAA. They are a wing of the RIAA so they are just the record companies constant whine about losing money to thieves. A lot of actual recording artists in Canada have left the CRIA becuase they concider them to be greedy corporate trolls, and not helpful to their careers. 2/ Music downloading in Canada is already legal. A leavy is paid on all blank DVDs, CDs, and cassettes, that goes back to the music artists already. except that money is diverted to another group run by the CRIA, and artists see very little of it. The courts have ruled that file downloading of music is already legal, so this arguement is already over. So once again, the recording executives are trying to save their dying industry without actually doing anything for the consumer or the real artist. Trust me, this idea is bullshit, and the folks in the know wont let this turkey go anywhere.
