I hope that this movement spreads. I believe that the important thing about these artists making this statement is that they are asking for their own rights back.

Lets see how their principles would work out. They just want the fair use of their music. They want it to be purchased legally for the benefit of the Big Labels. Lets wait and watch how this copyrigt thing will turn out. Will the Canadian Music Creators be successful. Lets see how their principles would work out. They just want the fair use of their music.

They're saying that fair use should be protected, and DRM-crippled CDs should not be used because they violate fair use. It's a completely separate issue from music downloads (legal or otherwise) - it's about crippling legally purchased physical media to protect the interests of the Big Labels. d – they’re not saying to let people steal music – that’s just wrong.
