For over a decade, the CPCC has represented copyright holders before the Copyright Board of Canada. The Board establishes the levies that may be collected after trial-like hearings where experts, representing music rights holders and organizations that represent consumers and businesses that sell leviable blank media, present evidence and are cross-examined. The private copying levy has been an important part of the Canadian copyright regime since 1999, when the first private copying tariff was certified by the Copyright Board, following amendments made to the Copyright Act (the “Act”) in 1997 to allow for a levy to be placed on blank audio recording media. Currently, the levy only applies to blank CDs and MiniDiscs, at a rate of 29 cents per unit, and is paid by manufacturers and importers of these blank media to the CPCC for distribution to rights holders. The private copying levy has provided an effective mechanism whereby consumers are allowed to make copies of music for their personal use without infringing copyright and, in exchange, music creators receive royalties that recognize the value of private copies of their work.

  • Before They Turn Pro: Superstar Attendance Effects in the Ontario Hockey League (2011-2019)
    Before They Turn Pro: Superstar Attendance Effects in the Ontario Hockey League (2011-2019) Austin Lemieux (0300077748) Major Paper presented to the Department of Economics of the University of Ottawa In partial fulfillment of the requirements of the M.A. Degree Supervisors: Professor Pierre Brochu, Professor Louis-Philippe Morin ECO 6999 Ottawa, Ontario July 20th, 2020 Acknowledgments I would like to thank supervisors Pierre Brochu, and Louis-Philippe Morin for their helpful comments throughout my research. Your guidance and passion helped make this paper both enjoyable to write, and gave me an invaluable learning experience that I truly appreciate. [1] Abstract This paper researches superstar player effects on the announced attendance and the probability of a sellout in the Ontario Hockey League for the 2011-2012 to the 2019-2020 regular seasons. Using a rich panel data set of game-level information, I find superstar players have a significant positive effect on the attendance of regular season games. Superstar players are also found to have an economically significant impact on the probability of a sellout, but this latter result is in most cases statistically insignificant. Finally, the superstar effect for sellouts and attendance are seen to change depending on the definition of a superstar, and also if the superstar plays on the home or away team. [2] 1. INTRODUCTION An intriguing topic in the field of sports economics is the study of attendance demand. Investigating which factors influence fans to attend live sporting events has major implications for sports franchises and leagues, local economies, and also further contributes to our understanding of consumer choice.

  • The Jungle, Spencer Gilpin, Anthony "Fridge" Johnson, Martha Kaply, and Bethany Walker Have Separated for College, but Plan a Reunion Over Christmas Break
    Three years after their adventure in Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, Spencer Gilpin, Anthony "Fridge" Johnson, Martha Kaply, and Bethany Walker have separated for college, but plan a reunion over Christmas break. The night before the reunion, Spencer, feeling like he has no purpose, gets out the Jumanji game set. When he doesn't show up at the reunion, his friends visit his mother's home, greeted by Spencer's grandfather Eddie and Eddie's former friend and business partner Milo Walker, who is visiting him. They discover that Spencer has gone into Jumanji and Fridge, Martha, Eddie and Milo go into the game as well, leaving Bethany behind. Inside the game, Martha finds herself as Ruby Roundhouse, the same avatar she had in the prior movie. Fridge becomes Professor Sheldon Oberon (which Bethany had used previously) while Eddie and Milo become Dr. Smolder Bravestone and Franklin "Mouse" Finbar (which Spencer and Fridge had used previously). After instructing Eddie and Milo on the game's rules, the group encounters non-player character Nigel Billingsley, the game's guide, who reveals that Jumanji is suffering from a massive drought. To leave the game, the group must end the drought by recovering a magical necklace known as the Falcon Heart that was stolen by the warlord Jurgen the Brutal. Meanwhile, Bethany, left out of the game and still in the real world, goes to fellow Jumanji player Alex Vreeke for help. Transported to a desert to pursue Jurgen, and after narrowly escaping a flock of pursuing ostriches, the group encounters Spencer, who is operating a new avatar, a skilled thief named Ming Fleetfoot.
