Apparently the music industry has been taking advantage of the more relaxed attitude to copyright in Canada to release 300,000 songs have been released on CD without compensation. So while the music industry piously bangs on about how terrible pirates are, it seems the ones that have screwed the musicians for the most are the actual record companies themselves.
