Canada deems P2P downloading legal
The Copyright Board of Canada has ruled that downloading copyrighted music
from peer-to-peer networks is legal, however, uploading such files is not.
The ruling, released on December 12, 2003, also imposes a $25 government
fee on MP3 music players. The money collected from levies on "recording
mediums" goes into a fund to pay musicians and songwriters for revenues
lost from consumers' personal copying. The ruling is sure to aggravate
copyright holder groups on both sides of the border. A lawyer for the
Canadian record industry's trade association said the group still believed
downloading was illegal, despite the decision. Canada has already raised
the hackles of some copyright holders through its reluctance to enact
measures that significantly expand digital copyright protection, as the
controversial Digital Millennium Copyright Act (DMCA) has done in the
United States.
