Incidence of pay audio services in Canada

Thank you to the Neighbouring Rights Collective of Canada for allowing the publication of this report entitled Sondage des utilisateurs des services audionumériques payants au Canada en 2000. Prepared in July 2000, this study aimed at clarifying three issues: the profile of Canadian pay audio services users; the use made of pay audio services by digital television clients; and the impact of the use of pay audio services on listening to one's music CD collection and on prerecorded CD purchases. The study is based on a large-scale telephone survey conducted in June and July 2001. The results were presented to the Copyright Board Canada in the context of hearings on the establishment of a tariff for the transmission of music by pay audio services.
