| Re:Sound v. Motion Picture Theatre Association of Canada 2011 FCA 70 | Feb 25, 2011 | This is an application for judicial review of a decision of September 16, 2009, by the Copyright Board wherein it answered the following question in the negative: The question arose after the applicant, Re:Sound, filed two proposed tariffs for the performance in public and communication to the public by telecommunication of published sound recordings. Both tariffs were objected to: (1) tariff 7, which targets the use of sound recordings embodied in a motion picture performed by a motion picture theatre; and (2) tariff 9, which targets the use of sound recordings in programs broadcast by television services. |
