Interim Tariff of levies to be collected by CPCC in 2008 on the sale of blank audio recording media, in Canada, in respect of the reproduction for private use of musical works embodied in sound recordings, of performers’ performances of such works and of sound recordings in which such works and performances are embodied
Reasons for decision
The Canadian Private Copying Collective (CPCC) filed with the Board a statement of proposed levies for private copying in 2008 and 2009. The proposal will be examined during the course of a hearing scheduled in 2008.
On October 30, 2007, CPCC filed a request, pursuant to section 66.51 of the Copyright Act, asking the Board to certify for 2008 an interim tariff that would reflect the tariff currently in place for the years 2005-2007. No one objected to this request. The Board grants the application. The interim tariff will therefore be identical to the one certified by the Board on May 11, 2007 for the years 2005 to 2007 and will apply from January 1, 2008 until the Board certifies the tariff for 2008–2009.
