The Canadian Recording Industry Association (CRIA) wants copyright reform and claims that peer-to-peer ("P2P") file has cost its members billions in lost sales in Canada.
A new peer-reviewed article published by FirstMonday.org analysizes industry statistics to test CRIA's claims. The report found exaggeration in loss claims and challenges CRIA's position. It also examines the possibility that an existing private copying levy system may already compensate artists adequately for private copying in P2P networks.
