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.

Apocalyptica

I'm not a huge fan of Metal, but I do like the occasional song now and then...

But I saw a concert on may 1 in Montreal that simply blew me away... I give you Apocalyptica:

Embedded Video

Life Burns

Eurovision 2007

I knew the group before, but the live performance litteraly blew me away. The Metropolis is not a big place, but it was filled with fans... People from completely different group types that all seemed to fit well with the group's style. And we were ecstatic! As one the band member remarked: "Man! You are a loud crowd!"

Since the band itself doesn't have a vocalist, they where touring with Toryn Green, the vocalist from the group Fuel. A great voice, he did a terrific job with "Life Burns" and "I don't Care". Enough for me to check out his own group that I haven't heard before...

Apocalyptica said they might be back in the fall.. I can't wait!
