In November 2020, CISAC, in partnership with BIEM and Stichting de Thuiskopie (the private copying collective of the Netherlands), released its Private Copying ...Global Study 2020. This is a comprehensive overview of private copying systems across 194 countries and five continents. Canada’s private copying regime is highlighted in several places in the report as one of a small handful of outliers around the world, because our regime remains limited to recordable CDs. cisac.org//new-private-copying-global-study-shows-potentia

We also talked about this topic with Dr Allen Hershkowitz, one of the world’s leading experts on the area; Mike Jbara, CEO of MQA; and Chiara Badiali, Knowledge and Sector Intelligence Lead at Julie's Bicycle, in a recent episode of Music Ally TV Show focused on sustainability and the music industry. Link in comments We need to upskill the whole workforce of the music industry. From managers, from people who negotiate sponsorship agreements, from people who run and manage venues. I think we’re a long way from having that skillset, necessarily, of knowing ‘what am I going to do?’ and we need to get there. We need to get there really really quickly, Chiara Badiali It’s more than just the right thing to do. It’s an essential business obligation.
