Cablecastermagazine.com, 04/07/03 Late last month the Supreme Court of Canada agreed to hear two appellants in a case that could affect the cost structures of all Canadian Internet service providers [ISPs], and cost Canadian cable companies millions. Recently, the Federal Court of Canada struck down a years-old Copyright Board of Canada decision exempting ISPs from paying a transmission tariff to music writers and composers. SOCAN (The Society of Composers, Authors and Music Publishers of Canada) filed Tariff 22 with the Copyright Board in 1995, saying that the transmission of music on the Internet meant that ISPs should be paying a tariff - such as the one cable companies already pay to SOCAN for specialty services and pay audio channels. Since most ISPs (including cable company ISPs) are not the originators of music transmissions from conventional radio stations or Internet radio stations...and act only as providers of the transmission device and wire, the Copyright Board said ISPs do not have to pay any such tariff. SOCAN appealed that decision to the Federal Court of Canada and the court's decision made a distinction saying that ISPs merely passing through a signal do not have to pay but those ISPs who cache content - as many do, since it makes Internet service work more efficiently and faster - should pay. Both the Canadian Cable Television Association [CCTA] and SOCAN filed appeals over the decision with the Supreme Court of Canada (the CCTA to eliminate the "caching" distinction altogether, and SOCAN to be able to tariff all ISPs as it has long wanted) and they will be heard, likely not until 2004, however. Cable operators pay SOCAN 15.5 cents per customer per month for music embedded in specialty channels and on pay audio services. more discussion... jay ------------------------------ End of headline-girl-digest V6 #71 **********************************
