22 Minutes On Canadian Copyright Reform

yeah haha dont forget about the music on the radio

Forgot his great grandpa in 1900 arguing that these newfangled player pianos will put musicians out of business!

True and funny.

Piracy is the greatest form of archival, the internet is your own massive redundant storage network.

Books used to be chained up in libraries before the advent of the printing press as they were too expensive to reproduce, now we can copy anything without degrading the original and the only thing holding us back is corporate greed.

hilarious

canadian tv is lame

Thats cause your cable company don't give a shit about you.

Yeah, too bad so many American shows are filmed there.

Check out the "Vermonster Beer VS Monster Energy drink" for a great example of how copyright SCREWS the little guy. Also look at the band Jett, and how they sued a nobody band for 40,000 bux for name infringement. How bout Micheal Jackson buying all the rights to the beatles songs and leaving Paul screwed out of those royalties. Or even the group fun loving criminals not making a dime off thier debut success album because of a soundbyte infringement. Copyrights suck for the small guy

Music is art
Distribution is business
even if all the businesses in the world fail people will still make music.

Im a musician, preparing for an album release next year, and i gotta say, file sharing ESPECIALLY music should be 100% Legal and free. The more people have access to an artists music, the more they're likely to attend a concert, THEIR MAIN FUCKING SOURCE OF REVENUE LOL. This whole thing is nothing but BS and only affects major labels and the suits at the top, not the musicians.
