Supreme Court of Canada to be asked to Rule on Private Copying Levy for Digital Recorders

| January 14, 2005
The Canadian Private Copying Collective (CPCC) has announced that it will appeal the December 14, 2004, decision of the Federal Court of Appeal on private copying to the Supreme Court of Canada. The Federal Court of Appeal had ruled that the permanently embedded memory of digital audio recorders, such as the iPod, is not a "blank audio recording medium", and so could not be subject to a levy under Canada's private copying regime. Prior to that decision, a digital audio recorder with a 10 Gigabyte hard drive was subject to a $25 levy.
