Interim tariff of levies to be collected by CPCC in 2012 and 2013 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 proposed tariff for private copying in 2012 and 2013. The proposal will be examined during a hearing scheduled to start on October 9, 2012.
On November 18, 2011, CPCC asked, pursuant to section 66.51 of the Copyright Act, that the Board extend for the years 2012 and 2013, on an interim basis, the application of the Private Copying Tariff, 2011 certified on December 18, 2010. Objectors were notified of the application; none opposed it. The Board grants the application. The interim tariff will remain in force, unless modified, from January 1, 2012 until the Board certifies the final tariff for 2012-2013.
