Copyright legislation is about to hit Ottawa… again. Despite the massive public outcry last time, the government is intent on enacting incredibly restrictive laws that will damage how you use your electronics. Get the facts, contact your MP, and don’t let them.
The Canadian Copyright Act, Part VII, Section 80 (Copying for Private Use) reads: “80. (1) Subject to subsection (2), the act of reproducing all or any substantial part of(a) a musical work embodied in a sound recording,(b) a performer’s performance of a musical work embodied in a sound recording, or(c) a sound recording in which a musical work, or a performer’s performance of a musical work, is embodiedonto an audio recording medium for the private use of the person who makes the copy does not constitute an infringement of the copyright in the musical work, the performer’s performance or the sound recording.”
