On Monday, we reported on Tariff 22, which threatens
Internet radio in Canada. We have learned that there are some
actions which our readers can take in order to help stop this
destructive tariff.
Perhaps most effective is to write a letter to Claude Majeau,
secretary general of the Canadian Copyright Board expressing your
opposition to Tariff 22. Best is to write a letter on paper, as he is
then legally required to respond to it. The address is:
Claude Majeau
Secretary General
56 Sparks Street, Suite 800
Ottawa, Ontario
K1A 0C9
Canada
Letters, as always, should be polite, clear, and written in either
English or French. Your letter must be received by July 10 to be
considered. If you prefer not to write a "snail-mail" letter, you can
also email Mr. Majeau at majeau.claude@cb-cda.gc.ca,
telephone +1 (613) 952-8621, or send a fax to
+1 (613) 952-8630. Communications from Canadians will likely
have the greatest effect, but polite messages from other countries
probably can't hurt.
Sample letters, as well as banners to inform others about the tariff,
can be found at RantRadio's site.
