Bill C-61 in laymans terms: Music

Second topic of bill C-61, Copying music.

According to Bill C-61,
you are allowed:
  • To copy music from one device to another, for private use (Clause 17, section 29.22, subsection 1)

you are not allowed:
  • more than one copy per device (Clause 17, section 29.22, subsection 1, paragraph d)
  • to make backups (same reference)
  • to give the copy to anyone (Clause 17, section 29.22, subsection 1, paragraph e)

And, because of Digital lock provisions (Clause 17, section 29.22, subsection 1, paragraph c), you are not allowed:
  • to copy the content of DRM music (some iTunes .aac , protected wma,  )

you must:
  • Destroy any copy when you sell the original. (Clause 17, section 29.22, subsection 4)
My own thoughts:
Same as Movies, except it has his own section in the law.
