Writers Guild of Canada: Levy on All Distribution and Storage Points

By Michael Geist

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Wire Report reports on this week's Canadian Heritage committee of the Writers Guild of Canada, which argued for two levies that would cover all distribution and storage points. The WU wants both an ISP levy (as proposed to the CRTC last year) and an expansion of the private copying levy to cover audio-visual works. The WGC pointed to consumers' use of PVRs as an example of uncompensated copying that should be covered by a levy. In other words, it believes that even time shifting - recording of television shows - should be subject to a fee.
