Hablamos de Canadá que suena lejano y ligeramente exótico: Piercing the peertopeer myths: An examination of the Canadian experience, de Michael Geist.

Por lo visto en Canadá hay un canon que afecta a los cederrones en blanco y a los reproductores de empetres. La frase:

Although identifying the precise compensation earned by Canadian artists under the levy is difficult, there is no question that the sum is in the millions of dollars annually. For example, the 18.9 percent earned by Canadian performers generated over C$5 million in 2004. Considering that the Canadian royalty loss for all lost sales is no more than C$2 million annually, it is apparent that the private copying levy, once distributed, provides Canadian artists with more than adequate compensation for their losses due to copying that occurs on peertopeer systems.

Vaya, que ganan mucho mas con el canon que lo que se supone que pierden con las descargas. Interesante, de ser los cálculos correctos.
