TORONTO \u2014 Un vaste \u00e9chantillon d\u2019artistes canadiens incluant des vedettes mondiales et des talents \u00e9mergents ont r\u00e9pondu \u00e0 l\u2019appel visant \u00e0 sauver et \u00e0 moderniser la redevance pour la copie priv\u00e9e du Canada gr\u00e2ce \u00e0 des modifications \u00e0 apporter \u00e0 la Loi sur le droit d\u2019auteur dans le cadre du projet de loi C-32, d\u00e9pos\u00e9 r\u00e9cemment devant le Parlement.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Des l\u00e9gendes comme Anne Murray, Stompin\u2019 Tom Connors, Andy Kim, Tom Cochrane, Lawrence Gowan, Carole Pope et des membres de Triumph ont signifi\u00e9 leur appui \u00e0 la redevance pour la copie priv\u00e9e en signant une lettre collective adress\u00e9e au ministre de l\u2019Industrie, Tony Clement, et au ministre du Patrimoine, James Moore. La liste des signataires inclut \u00e9galement des sensations de l\u2019heure telles que Chad Kroeger du groupe Nickelback, Metric et les Tragically Hip ainsi que des artistes qui ont \u00e9merg\u00e9 au cours des derni\u00e8res ann\u00e9es, dont Sophie Milman, Eva Avila, Serena Ryder, Sarah Harmer, Kathleen Edwards, Hawksley Workman, Jacob Hoggard et Royal Wood.<\/p>\n
\u00ab Ce fait indique que les artistes, peu importe le stade o\u00f9 ils en sont rendus dans leur carri\u00e8re, soutiennent la redevance pour la copie priv\u00e9e du Canada et comprennent combien il est important que les cr\u00e9ateurs soient r\u00e9mun\u00e9r\u00e9s lorsque leurs oeuvres sont copi\u00e9es. Ils croient qu\u2019une copie demeure une copie et que, peu importe la fa\u00e7on dont elle est r\u00e9alis\u00e9e, les artistes ont droit \u00e0 une r\u00e9mun\u00e9ration lorsque leur musique est utilis\u00e9e de cette fa\u00e7on \u00bb, affirme David Basskin, administrateur de la Soci\u00e9t\u00e9 canadienne de perception de la copie priv\u00e9e.<\/p>\n
Plus de 350 artistes ont sign\u00e9 la lettre demandant que le projet de loi C-32 sur la modernisation de la Loi sur le droit<\/em> d\u2019auteur soit modifi\u00e9 de fa\u00e7on \u00e0 \u00e9tendre la redevance pour la copie priv\u00e9e \u2014 laquelle s\u2019applique actuellement aux supports vierges utilis\u00e9s pour copier des oeuvres musicales tels que les CD-R \u2014 aux lecteurs MP3.<\/p>\n \u00ab En ne modifiant pas la redevance pour la copie priv\u00e9e et en continuant de l\u2019appliquer aux supports vierges comme les CD, nous reconnaissons de toute \u00e9vidence la valeur de ces copies. Pourquoi ne pas adopter une approche neutre sur le plan technologique et \u00e9tendre la redevance aux lecteurs MP3? Les copies de nos oeuvres perdent-elles toute valeur simplement parce qu\u2019il est facile de les r\u00e9aliser \u00e0 l\u2019aide de la technologie num\u00e9rique ? Les lecteurs MP3 constituent la nouvelle g\u00e9n\u00e9ration de supports vierges. Une copie demeure une copie. Ainsi, le principe de r\u00e9mun\u00e9ration \u00e9quitable des mtitulaires de droits devrait s\u2019appliquer, peu importe que la copie soit effectu\u00e9e \u00e0 l\u2019aide d\u2019un support vierge ou d\u2019un lecteur MP3 \u00bb, peut-on lire dans la lettre.<\/p>\n Vous trouverez ci-joint une copie de la lettre ainsi que la liste compl\u00e8te des artistes signataires.<\/p>\n -30-<\/p>\n Pour plus d\u2019information: Alison Thompson SCPCP November 24, 2010<\/p>\n Hon. Tony Clement, Minister of Industry Dear Ministers Clement and Moore,<\/p>\n Thank you for your efforts to date in modernizing Canada\u2019s copyright law. As you know, that legislation has a tremendous impact on us, Canada\u2019s songwriters and recording artists, and on our ability to earn a living from the music we create.<\/p>\n We are pleased with some aspects of the proposed new copyright legislation, Bill C-32, such as how it would legalize the everyday activity of copying music to MP3 players like the iPod. We want Canadians to be able to enjoy our music wherever they go. However, it is very disappointing and unfair that the proposed legislation does not include compensation for creators when copies are made of their music onto MP3 players.<\/p>\n Thirteen years ago, in recognition of the fact that copies of music have value, Canada\u2019s private copying levy was established to provide compensation to artists when their music was copied to cassette tapes, blank CDs and other types of blank media commonly used for that purpose. Over the years, more than $180 million has been paid out to the rights holders who created the music that was copied: songwriters, recording artists, music publishers and record labels. The revenue from the current levy is drying up at an alarming rate, dropping 60% from 2008 to 2010, and yet the number of private copies made of our work is not decreasing. Soon artists will receive no compensation for the millions of copies made of our work.<\/p>\n Again, it is important to stress how much we, the artists, rely on the proceeds of the levy. We are truly not, and have never considered ourselves to be, a class of elites. In reality, most of us struggle to eke out a living. Recording an album is exceedingly expensive and labour intensive. We pour everything we have into our projects and we then work ceaselessly to tour and promote our music, which is again, extremely costly. If our work does catch on and people want to enjoy our music on various media, should we not be compensated for those By leaving the private copying levy as is, applying to blank media such as CDs, you obviously recognize that these copies have value. Why would you not take the technologically neutral approach and extend it to MP3 players? Just because it is easy to make digital copies of our art, does that mean that they are worthless? MP3 players are this generation\u2019s version of blank media. A copy is a copy and the principle of fair compensation for rights holders should apply whether the copy is made onto blank media or MP3 players.<\/p>\n Please be fair and extend to us the same consideration you have shown consumers by protecting our interests alongside theirs. We know that you do not want to see a Canada that is devoid of musicians and songwriters, but without fair and balanced treatment, that may be the tragic consequence. We are not asking for charity, but only for the recognition that our work has value. And, we ask that this sentiment be reflected in the new copyright bill.<\/p>\n Yours truly,<\/p>\n Aleesia, Brian Allen (Toronto), Chad Allen, John P.
