At long last we are now scheduled for installation of our rooftop solar system. Solsmart has notified us that our start date is in the week of August 18. Two factors have been working against an earlier start date. Frequent rainy days in June and July have kept our contractor on the ground instead of on the rooftops of other projects ahead of us. And high levels of solar installation activity around the province are keeping pressure on suppliers to deliver materials on time. Soon you will see materials arriving and being stored on the property. Then our site will be abuzz with installation staff, trucks, and equipment. During this time, please regard our property as a construction site during this time and practice extra diligence when entering and exiting the property and building. Signs on site will give important safety information. Your cooperation and patience during this period are greatly appreciated.

    CANADIAN PRIVATE COPYING COLLECTIVE SOCIÉTÉ CANADIENNE DE PERCEPTION DE LA COPIE PRIVÉE 150 Eglinton Ave. East, Suite 403 Toronto, Ontario M4P 1E8 416 486 6832 1 800 892 7235 416 486 3064 [FAX] www.cpcc.ca CPCC CPCC C-32 Submission Background The Canadian Private Copying Collective (CPCC) is the non-profit organization responsible for collecting private copying royalties and distributing them to songwriters, performers, music publishers and record companies, as well as promoting the interests of rights holders as they pertain to private copying. 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.

  • Baltruschat-MIA
    Doris Baltruschat THE NEW MEDIA GEOGRAPHY OF GLOBAL AND LOCAL PRODUCTION NETWORKS Abstract This article highlights the networked collaborations, across non-traditional lines, between producers, broadcasters, digital content developers and telecommunications providers for the development of content across multiple platforms. Through using global production technologies such as co-production and formatting, they are able to localise program narratives with the participation of audiences, online communities, and media events — all of which increase the value of the overall program package for the international market. Global film and television programs are based on production ecologies that interconnect vast networks of producers, broadcasters and digital content developers. These partnerships include collaborations on multi-platform media to stem the growing ‘audience coup’ emanating from file-sharing sites and to exploit social networking aspects that surround popular television programs. In particular, professional media producers take advantage of the reciprocal relationship between actual and virtual communities that coalesce around television shows in the form of real live media events, program participation, public display, online chat rooms and blogs. While these immersive environments extend a global media product’s reach into specific local contexts, they also provide the blueprint for its successful adaptation in different markets around the world. This article explores the intersection between professional media practices and active public engagement with television programs: the dichotomy of media localisation and globalisation is at the core of the investigation. Public involvement in television programs runs the gamut of attending open auditions and participating in television programs to creating a plethora of user-generated content. These activities add value to programs because locally acquired expertise becomes part of a production matrix that is reapplied to the development of new media products.

  • Canadian Idol!
    Voting in Newfoundland and Labrador: Turned off by Canadian Elections? Tune in to Canadian Idol! ALEX MARLAND NEWFOUNDLANDERS AND LABRADORIANS are among the least likely of all Canadi- ans to vote in a federal election. By comparison, turnout in the three nearby Mari- time provinces regularly exceeds the national average. Yet Atlantic Canadians seem to share a common interest in supporting their own in national reality televi- sion programs that allow repeat voting, usually by telephone, in elimination rounds as part of a televised talent search. This article argues that there can be political undertones when Canadians vote as part of the reality television experience. The popularity of CTV’s Canadian Idol contrasts declining engagement in Canadian federal politics. Exploratory data gathered at an Idol audition in St. John’s provides preliminary insights about tele- voting and about young persons’ motivations for becoming contestants. This can help gauge undercurrents of political identity among Idol fans who do not partici- pate in federal elections in Canada, particularly in Newfoundland and Labrador. TURNOUT IN CANADIAN FEDERAL ELECTIONS Official turnout in Canadian federal elections has fallen to new lows in four of the last five contests, including in 2008 when it dipped below 60 percent for the first time. Generally speaking, non-voters are less likely to be on the official list of elec- tors, but are more likely to have lower income, to be new to the country, to have lived a shorter period of time in a community, and to not be contacted by a political party (Blais et al. 2003; Pammett and LeDuc 2003b).
