Canada’s current copyright framework for recorded music is shortchanging artists, according to a new report from the C.D. Howe Institute. In “The Value of Copyrights in Recorded Music: Terrestrial Radio and Beyond,” author Marcel Boyer finds that the competitive value of recorded music is about 2.5 times greater than the current level of copyright payments.
