Can anyone tell me which Article in Canada’s Copyright Act allows ‘private copying’ ?
I couldn’t find it in http://laws.justice.gc.ca/en/C-42/38519.html#rid-38539

Thanks,

By way of an FYI – the ? for apostrophies is because I sometimes clip quotes from the original and forget, or don’t have time, to check for characters the ‘posting’ app doesn’t like. C heers! : )

aside from the ? marks where apostrophies should be, i believe this to be a well concieved site. i find it easy to navigate. i dont know what you are looking for in a site, but i thought id lend my opinion like you did yours.

Yeeeeehaaarrr! Finally a government that ignores the recording industry. If only all governments would do the same.

Three cheers to the NZ government.

They finally do something right! I do object against levies on CD recordable media because I heavily rely on that stuff for my data backup regime and that stuff is mine and I should not have to pay copyright levies on that.

Sony would scream murder wouldn’t they. This is actually a significant decision because it will make it very difficult for the major labels to export music to NZ. I am assuming here that all labels will want to build copy protection into their CD’s but that would stop New Zealanders in their right to make a backup copy!

So what is going to happen? No more over priced Audio CD imports? Are we going to find a backup copy ready made in our jewelcase? (That would be cool, we can export those again )

How does Canada deal with copy protected CD’s as they are in conflict with Canadian laws?

and as Canadian I am continously vigilant for any assualt on that portion of our copyright act. After-all, I have to pay a levy on all blank media (basically) so that I can enjoy that right, in part anyways.

Nice accumulation of information on this site, but your site looks like a 12 year old put it together.
