“DRM” of course stands for “Dig-

ital Rights Management,” technology

to limit what consumers can do with

music, movies and other material they’ve

bought. In the United States DRM is

backed by tough laws. In Canada and

Europe, on the other hand, copying for

private use is legal. So far.

CRIA (the Canadian Recording

Industry Association), the Canadian

counterpart to RIAA, the US lobbyist

for Big Media, would like to see a US-

style DRM law, and is even offering to

(ahem!) help write it. A tough DRM law

was in fact introduced last year, but there

was an election and a change of govern-

ment, and the Conservatives are not as

hot on the issue as the Liberals were.

But now the plot thickens.

Some of Canada’s major recording

artists are denouncing CRIA, because

they say its policies are intended to favor

major recording labels, not the creators

of music. There are some A-list names

on the list, such as Avril Lavigne, Sarah

McLachlan and The Barenaked Ladies.

Says the CMCC, “We are the people

who actually create Canadian music.

Without us, there would be no music

for copyright laws to protect.” The

new association opposes legislation that

would mostly enable Big Media to sue

the very fans who love the music, as hap-

pens regularly in the US, and as CRIA

itself has tried (unsuccessfully) to do in

Canada.

Amusingly enough, the CMCC,

probably deliberately, has patterned its

name after the Canadian Value of Music

Coalition. That was a CRIA program to

convince music downloaders that they

were hurting the very musicians they

love. The CMCC reply: “Suing our fans

is destructive and hypocritical, digital

locks are risky and counterproductive,

and cultural policy should support actual

Canadian artists.”

Did we mention that CRIA supports

big record labels? Many Canadian art-

ists are signed to smaller labels, such as

Anthem, Aquarius and True North. Six

Canadian labels, including those three,

have pulled out of CRIA. Their letter

to CRIA says that, “We do not feel that

we can remain members given CRIA’s

decision to advocate solely on behalf of

the four major foreign multi-national

labels.”

There is another record company

group in Canada, the Canadian Inde-

pendent Record Production Associa-

tion (CIRPA). And that association has

picked up six more labels.

As for the Member of Parliament who

had piloted the failed DRM bill through

the last parliament, he was personally

defeated in the January election.

That’s the plural of erratum, as you

probably know even if you ﬂunked Latin,

and it means “mistakes.”

You’d think errors in a magazine

would hide somewhere in the ﬁne print,

where it is hard to see. In fact some of

them pass unseen because they are too

big. There was a major typo on the cover

of UHF No. 59. And you know the worst

part? we actually paid our prepress house

a bonus to do a last moment correction

on a last-moment mistake, and then we

didn’t see the even bigger one! Not until

it was too late at least.

But back to issue No. 75.

Did you see the review of the CEC

5400 integrated ampliﬁer? Only there is

no 5400 ampliﬁer. It was the CEC 5300,

as we would have known if we had looked

more closely at the front panel.

We hear the distributor got anxious

calls from dealers who wanted to know

when they would be getting the ﬁrst

shipments of the “5400” amps. But at

least we were consistent. We called it

the 5400 every single time.

And another major error was right

on the cover. Again.

You did see it, didn’t you?
