Submission + - CRIA Admits P2P Downloading Legal in Canada
An anonymous reader writes: Michael Geist is reporting
that the Canadian Recording Industry Association — the Canadian
equivalent of the RIAA — this week filed documents in Canadian court
that seeks to kill the expansion of the levy on blank media to iPods
since it fears that the system now legalizes peer-to-peer downloading
of music in Canada. CRIA's President Graham Henderson argued in
his affidavit that a recent decision from the Copyright Board of Canada
"broadens the scope of the private copying exception to avoid making
illegal file sharers liable for infringement."
