OTTAWA -- Rockin' on with your MP3 or burning music CDs on your computer will cost a lot more if the federal government has its way. Canadians have until May 8 to file written objections to the Copyright Board. It's proposed that the charges would take effect Jan. 1, 2003.

You know all of this "tax for the artists" crap is going straight into the pockets of the already wealthy record labels...not the pockets of the artists! Definately underground or independent artists will see none of this money.
In fact independent artists such as myself will now have to pay more just to buy CDs to burn music that I already own the copyright to!!
Please read the article and please write in if you love underground music.
