Canadian Publishers May Appeal Block On 'iPod Tax'

Collecting society the Canadian Private Copying Collective says it may appeal against a court ruling which has blocked its efforts to obtain compensation for music creators through extending Canada's private-copying levy to cover "digital audio recorders." In a statement, the CPCC said it could still take the matter to the Supreme Court of Canada. Labels body the Canadian Recording Industry Assn. was among the bodies opposed to the levy. (Billboard)
