The changes that are going to occur  and the benefits that will be gained will be at least as great as the  industrial age. New industries will rise, old ones will fall. How  exactly it will turn out, no-one can say. It is far too early to define  the rules for this new age. <P> Distributing content digitally dramatically increases the flexibility in  what can be done with the content by the user. Before when a consumer  bought a book it could only be read on page at a time and it was only  indexed as thoroughly as the publisher choose. Audio Tapes where limited  to playing songs in the order they where recorded. With digital content  these limits are smashed. A Book or an entire libraries can be searched  for any set of words easily. Anyone can instantly access any song in  their collection, from their home, car or even out for a walk. This is  only the beginning of the changes. <P> The relationship between the artist creating the content and the  consumer enjoying it could be totally changed. In the past to reach a  large number of people with your content required substantial resources.  Money was required for publicity and manufacturing of the media the  content would be distribute it on. These services where provided by the  distributors, like the record labels, publishers and television  networks. In the digital age artists can easily do these thing  themselves. Using the Internet you can communicate with anyone around  the world at very little cost, telling people who might want to know  about your content about it and sending it to them. Digital technology  is even making the production services provided by the distributors  unnecessary allowing people to produce high quality audeo and vidio in  their home. <P> However, I fear that many of the changes you will propose will be not  designed to usher in the new age, but to graft the rules and limitations  of the old age on to the new, and maybe add some new ones on top of that  in order to provide maximum benefit to the distributors. Where once we  could loan or sell the content we bought distributors are seeking the  prevent this. <P> In your consolations you should be talking almost exclusively to artists  and consumers, because the distributors will say what ever they can to  help ensure things change as little as possible, because they know they  could be soon out of the picture. The artists and consumers are the only  two groups that matter. All the others are just optional extras. <P> Darwin O'Connor<br> (Adresse enleve)<P> <DIV ALIGN="right"><A href="rp00007f.html"> Retour &agrave; la liste de suggestions</A>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</DIV>   <HR> </BODY>  </html><br><!--   APPENDENDTABLE   --><!-- EPIC_DYNAMIC_VAR NAME="EPIC_FOOTER" --></td></tr></table><FONT FACE="Arial"><!-- FOOTER BEGINS --></FONT> <br><br><br> <table width="600" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" summary="Update & Top of Page & Notice"> <tr> <td width="132"><img src="http://graphics.strategis.ic.gc.ca/glblgrfx/cio_spacer01.gif" width="132" height="1" border="0"  alt=""></td> <td width="18"><img src="http://graphics.strategis.ic.gc.ca/glblgrfx/cio_spacer01.gif" width="18" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td> <td  valign="top" align="left"> <a href="http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/SSGF/ip00001f.html">INDUSTRIE CANADA<BR>Direction de la politique de la propri&eacute;t&eacute; intellectuelle</a></td> <td align="right"><A href="http://www.pch.gc.ca/progs/ac-ca/progs/pda-cpb/index_e.cfm">Minist&egrave;re du<br>Patrimoine canadien<br>Direction g&eacute;n&eacute;rale de la <br>politique du droit d'auteur</a></td> </tr><td></td><td></td>  <td colspan="3"><hr width="100%"></td>  </table>  <table width="600" border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">       <tr> <td width="132"><img src="http://graphics.strategis.ic.gc.ca/glblgrfx/cio_spacer01.gif" width="132" height="1" border="0"  alt=""></td> <td width="18"><img src="http://graphics.strategis.ic.gc.ca/glblgrfx/cio_spacer01.gif" width="18" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td>          <td align="right"> <span class="footerDisclaimer02"><a href="http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/frndoc/disclaim.html">Avis importants et exon&eacute;ration de responsabilit&eacute;</a></span></td></tr> <tr> <td width="132"><img src="http://graphics.strategis.ic.gc.ca/glblgrfx/cio_spacer01.gif" width="132" height="1" border="0"  alt=""></td> <td width="18"><img src="http://graphics.strategis.ic.gc.ca/glblgrfx/cio_spacer01.gif" width="18" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td> <td align="right"><span class="footerDisclaimer02"><a href="http://strategis.ic.gc.ca/frndoc/priv_main.html">D&eacute;claration - Renseignements personnels</a></span></td>       </tr>            <tr> <td width="132"><img src="http://graphics.strategis.ic.gc.ca/glblgrfx/cio_spacer01.gif" width="132" height="1" border="0"  alt=""></td> <td width="18"><img src="http://graphics.strategis.ic.gc.ca/glblgrfx/cio_spacer01.gif" width="18" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td> <tr><td>&nbsp;</td></tr> <tr> <td width="132"><img src="http://graphics.strategis.ic.gc.ca/glblgrfx/cio_spacer01.gif" width="132" height="1" border="0"  alt=""></td> <td width="18"><img src="http://graphics.strategis.ic.gc.ca/glblgrfx/cio_spacer01.gif" width="18" height="1" border="0" alt=""></td> <td> <div align="center"><img width="89" height="22" src="http://graphics.stratdev1.ic.gc.ca/glblgrfx/wordmark.gif" alt="Canada"></div>		  </td></tr>       </table></FORM> </BODY> </HTML>
