Yeah, The Barenaked Ladies tried that with the MP3 downloading problem and
were dismissed by all the LEGIT music associations like CRIA, CIRPA, CMRRA,
SOCAN, etc.
Not to get all tin-hat and conspiracy theory, but much of the media is in
the back pockets of the corporations who also own terrestrial radio because
they're own by the same conglomerates....and it's in their best interest to
support the restrictive Copyright Board legislation as a means to squash
internet radio so that terrestrial radio can continue on with their
ventilator and "continue to resuscitate at all costs" mandates.
The shortsightedness of this legislation is boggling....cause when
terrestrial finally loses its battle of circling the drain and
internet/satellite radio becomes the norm, the legislation will have to be
reformed all over again.
