 |
|
캐나다 저작권 위원회(? Canadian Copyright Board)가 MP3 플레이어 포함한 디지탈 음향 기기
판매에 대해 20%의 비용을 부과할 것이라고 합니다.
공 테잎과 recordale CD의 관세율이 높아지는 것은 물론이고
recordable DVD, 플래시 메모리, HDD 등도 부과 대상에 오른 것이립니다.
캐나다에서는 올 크리스마스에 애인에게 MP3 플레이어를 사줄려면 생각지 못한 비용을 추가로
들어야 하겠네요. ^^

Copyright body may slap levy on digital music players
Would boost price of storage media
Economy will suffer, retailers say
TYLER HAMILTON
TECHNOLOGY REPORTER
That 20-gigabyte MP3 player going under the Christmas tree this season could soon cost 20 per cent more if the Copyright Board approves a proposed levy tomorrow on the sale of digital music devices.
It could also mean new levies on recordable DVDs, removable flash memory and micro hard drives, as well as increased tariff rates on blank cassettes and recordable CDs, assuming a music-industry group called the Canadian Private Copying Collective, or CPCC, gets its way.
Claude Majeau, secretary-general of the Copyright Board, confirmed yesterday that a decision on the controversial levy is to come out Friday morning.
Both the CPCC and a group of electronics manufacturers and retailers aggressively fighting the levy have been arguing their respective views since the Copyright Board began formal hearings on the matter in January.
"It's the kind of decision that's likely to leave everybody unhappy," said Michael Geist, a professor of Internet law at the University of Ottawa and technology counsel for Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP.
"The retailers won't like it because they don't like the levy, period. Consumers won't like it because they won't be paying a fair price for the product. And copyright holders will probably feel they're not getting enough."
The CPCC already collects a levy on blank cassettes, recordable CDs and Sony minidiscs, but in May, 2002, the organization, which collects and redistributes the levy on behalf of the Canadian music industry, proposed that existing tariffs be substantially hiked and expanded to cover M3P players and other digital-memory products that carry music files.
The original purpose of the levy was to compensate artists for the widespread activity of making personal copies of music that an individual already owns.
But the growing popularity of CD burners and free Internet music-swapping services changed the nature and magnitude of "copying." Increasing and expanding the levy is a small yet symbolic attempt at compensating artists and record companies for widespread piracy, the CPCC argues.
"Everybody in the private copying collective is hoping we'll get the levy extended to devices like iPods and other MP3 players with internal memory," said Paul Audley, policy advisor at the CPCC.
But Audley said hope and expectation are two different things, adding that the Copyright Board will likely stick with tradition and aim for a compromise.
"It will come down somewhere in the middle," he said. "And that certainly wouldn't reflect what people think (music) rights are worth."
CPCC plans to hold a news conference tomorrow at the Fairmont Royal York to discuss the impact of the decision.
Meanwhile, a group called the Canadian Coalition for Fair Digital Access, or CCFDA, is preparing for the worst. Members include big-name retailers, such as Wal-Mart, CostCo and Staples Business Depot, and high-tech powerhouses such as Intel Corp., Dell Computer Corp., Apple Computer Corp. and Hewlett-Packard Co.
"It's a significant potential hit," said Kevin Evans, vice-president with the Retail Council of Canada and CCFDA co-chair. If the levy does get approved, "we believe it's going to be the (retail) sales clerk that's going to get the full blasting from consumers."
Under the proposed levies, a pack of 50 recordable CDs that have 700 megabytes of capacity will have a 49-cent levy on each disc. Today, that pack costs $29.99, but the levy would impose an additional financial burden of $24.50 if approved.
