nterests of companies that record manufacture produce and distribute music in canada it also offers benefits to some of canada s leading independent record labels and distributors 1 it was known as the canadian record manufacturer s association french association canadienne des fabricants de disques until 1972 and the canadian recording industry association cria french association de l industrie canadienne de l enregistrement until 2011 history edit originally formed as the 10 member canadian record manufacturer s association the association changed its name to canadian recording industry association cria in 1972 and opened membership to other record industry companies 2 in 2006 a number of smaller labels resigned their memberships complaining that the organization was not representing their interests 3 on 7 july 2011 the cria changed its name to music canada and began offering special benefits to some of the leading independent labels and distributors 4 organization edit music canada is governed by a board of directors who are elected annually by association members to be eligible for election a candidate for the board must be among the executive officers of the member companies patrick rogers formerly the vice president corporate affairs was named chief executive officer effective 11 january 2021 5 graham henderson had been president from 15 november 2004 to 28 may 2020 brian robertson previously held the position from 1974 class a members are canadian individuals or companies whose principal business is producing manufacturing or marketing sound recordings

these members pay a 600 annual membership fee but have no voting rights as of 2007 there were 22 class b members 6 manufacturing division members are canadian individuals or companies whose principal business is manufacturing sound recordings other services edit music canada is responsible for the distribution of isrc registrant codes within canada and also works with the ifpi and riaa to try to prevent copyright infringement of artists work representation edit historically music canada has represented all record labels in the country however some labels and other industry groups have publicly disagreed with music canada and stated that it no longer represents them in 2006 six well known indie labels including nettwerk left music canada in a dispute over canadian content rules they claimed the association was only protecting the interests of the four major foreign multi national labels 7 referring to emi universal sony bmg and warner other points of contention include music canada s stance against the blank media tax their support for digital locks on music 8 and positions against copyright reform 9 in 2007 a group of musicians formed the canadian music creators coalition claiming legislative proposals that would facilitate lawsuits against our fans or increase the labels control over the enjoyment of music are made not in our names but on behalf of the labels foreign parent companies legal actions edit on 16 february 2004 music canada applied to the federal court to force five major canadian internet service providers shaw communications inc telus corp rogers cable bell canada s sympatico service and vidéotron to release the names of 29 people accused of copyright infringement through peer to peer file sharing in april 2005 vidéotron indicated its willingness to supply customer information to music canada 10 on 31 march 2004 in the case of bmg v john doe justice konrad von finckenstein of the federal court of canada ruled that making music available for download over the internet was not equivalent to distribution and was thus noninfringing the justice compared the peer to peer filesharing activities to having a photocopier in a library room full of copyrighted material and wrote that there was no evidence of unauthorized distribution presented 11 the federal court of appeal upheld the lower courts ruling denying the disclosure of the customers identities but in reference to what would or would not constitute infringement of copyright stated such conclusions should not have been made in the very preliminary stages of this action since they would require a consideration of the evidence as well as the law applicable to such evidence after it has been properly adduced and could be damaging to the parties if a trial takes place 12 the copyright board of canada earlier that year had included downloading music in the list of private copying activities for which tariffs on blank media applied private copying is the act of copying music for personal use from a noninfringing source and is itself noninfringing 13 relevant in 2008 the operators of the isohunt website filed a motion with the supreme court of british columbia seeking a declaratory judgment affirming the legality of their operation the motion was denied and the court ruled a full trial was needed this decision was appealed by the operators of isohunt the appeal was also denied in late 2009 isohunt filed a formal suit against music canada and the four major record labels seeking declaratory relief to clarify its legal rights 14 additionally in october 2008 the four main members of music canada were sued by the estate of chet baker and several other artists for copyright infringement the major claims in this lawsuit are as follows that some three hundred thousand works were illegally distributed by the music canada s members and that they failed to seek proper licensing and distribution agreements with the creators of the aforementioned works instead placing the works on what is colloquially referred to as a pending list i e any payments to be made for the use of the aforementioned works are reserved pending an agreement with the artists who created the works as the standard punitive damages for each act of infringement is set at 20 000 and there are three hundred thousand works on the pending lists music canada could have faced punitive damages of a minimum of 6 billion 15 on 8 november 2011 the suit was settled out of court for over 45 million 16 certification awards edit see also list of certified
