[d@DCC] Hey, the Broadcasters may be of help!

[Charles MacDonald]

seams that the RIAA Canada Ltd. policy of charging for each and every 
copy made is starting to upset the Canadian association of broadcasters.

Seems that modern radio stations play their music not off CD and old 
vinyl - but they transfer it to hard drives.. and guess what, they have 
to pay 7 million a year for that convenience..

"Canada's private radio broadcasters already pay more than $43 million 
in copyright fees annually to rights holders to put music on the air. 
Since 2003, radio stations have been required to pay an additional $7 
million in copyright fees for the simple act of transferring a digital 
copy of a song onto their hard drives."
