The views and opinions in this paper reflect those of the author and do not necessarily represent the positions of the Department of Canadian Heritage or the Government of Canada. Introduction More than any other cultural industry, sound recording has been challenged in recent years by new technologies resulting in economic losses, copyright litigation, and a fundamental break in its control over the distribution of music recordings. At the same time, new technologies have allowed consumers, artists, and entrepreneurial firms to redefine the premises, structures and relationships upon which music culture will be based in the future. Canadian policy makers must find ways to help ensure that Canadian artists and record labels are able to adapt to and profit from these challenges and opportunities.
