The only reliable source is the Copyright Board itself. Since that board has no 'net presence the only thing you can do is to Phone Industry Canada in Vancouver (blue pages) and ask to speak to an "officer." That officer will tell you what he or she knows at this point (very little) and will then give you a phone number for the Copyright Board. It is an Ottawa number (sorry, no 1-800 here). I suggest phoning and I also suggest, as have others, a call to your MP's constituency office. Industry Canada does suggest that there may be a delay in implementing the levy, but since it is adminstered at source, and since the fact there is to be a levy has appeared in the Canada Gazette, the levy could be applied retroactively. Insofar as I can tell, electronic means of complaint (e-mail, voice mail) are ineffectual. Written complaints and phone calls to MPs carry the most weight. -- !-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-!-! Peter L.
