Tariff 22 heats up as international groups seek leave to weigh in with court

Parties both for and against a blanket fee on Internet caches to compensate the music industry for downloaded tunes have asked the Supreme Court of Canada for leave to intervene in the Tariff 22 case. Tariff 22, a proposed tariff on Internet music, faces an uncertain future as the Supreme Court will decide whether to reverse a Federal Court of Appeal decision that the Society of Composers, Artists and Music Publishers of Canada (SOCAN) is entitled to collect a tariff on music downloaded from outside the country, and for music stored temporarily in the caches ISPs employ to speed Internet surfing (CNM, April 3/03).

Controversial web portal recommended by CCOP advisory board in vision report

The advisory board formed a year and a half ago to help craft Canada's online cultural strategy has quietly issued its first report outlining its vision for future priorities and initiatives (CNM Update, April 10/02). The document, which is slowly snaking its way through to industry stakeholders in the absence of any public announcement from the department of Canadian Heritage, contains several controversial proposals, including one regarding a proposed Canadian portal for cultural material that has elicited producer responses unfit to print in even Canadian NEW MEDIA.
