""Apparently Internet music and movie sharing in
Canada has gained enough popularity to turn the heads of the music and
movie industry. CTV has a report about a Canadian organization named
SOCAN (Society of Composers, Authors, and Music Publishers of Canada)
that will "ask the Supreme Court of Canada next week to force Internet
service providers to pay them royalties for the millions of digital
music
files downloaded each year by Canadians". Says the president of the
Canadian Association of Internet Providers, "Consumers could very well
see an increase in their Internet costs and they could see a slowdown in

the transmission speed of their Internet communications".
