Canadian musicians send protest song to big labels.

The article reports that Canadian musicians came out against the major record labels' urging of the U.S. style copyright laws in Canada to halt music piracy. Steve Page, lead singer of Bare-naked Ladies and co-founder of the Canadian Music Creators Coalition, told a Toronto news conference that using DVD locks and peer-to-peer lawsuits to halt music file sharing online only angers fans. The Canadian artists argued that their future lay less in the sale of music in record stores than it did in sharing their music online to foster performance careers and merchandise sales.
