The Internet has revolutionized the distribution of music and raised a host of copyright issues. Canadian law does not yet squarely address these issues, particularly the legality of trading copyrighted music over computer networks. The music industry, however, argues that peer-to-peer file sharing is costing the industry millions of dollars in lost sales. Should the Copyright Act be amended to address the concerns of the music interest? For example, should it be illegal to put copyrighted material into the shared directories of file-sharing systems? Should it be illegal to bypass copy-protection mechanisms in copyrighted material?
