BMG Buys Columbia House/Indies Want Better
Cancon/Sony-BMG's New Copy Protection


BMG Buys Columbia House / BMG is purchasing Columbia House. The company intends to merge
their BMG Music Service with Columbia House's clubs in the future but all of the clubs are expected to
operate normally until further notice, including Columbia House Canada. Consult my BMG
Direct/Columbia House Merger FAQ for details. / Indies Want Better Cancon / Several indie artists are
petitioning the Canadian government to upgrade Canadian Content regulations to include incentives to
play independent recordings. For more information on Cancon Pro and the public petition, consult
letsfixcancon.ca / Sony-BMG's New Copy Protection / Sony-BMG Music Canada has adopted
SunnComm's Mediamax on several of its newer releases, including Sloan's "A Sides Win" hits
compilation. Mediamax is PC and Mac compatible and allows copying of tracks to these computers and
compatible devices. Unfortunately, the ipod is not yet compatible but ipod users are asked to contact
Sunncomm to obtain information on how to bypass this incompatibility. The Tuneshare downloads are
also unfortunately limited to PCs running the latest versions of Internet Explorer and Windows Media
Player. Tuneshare allows the purchaser of a Mediaplay disc to send time and copy limited tracks to their
friends (Official Mediamax FAQ)
