Copyright in Canada is automatic upon the creation of a work, and is owned by the creator(s). One is not required to do anything to get/obtain copyright, it is automatic once a song is "fixed" in a tangible form (e.g. recorded on CD/cassette). The copyright owner has the "right to copy" the song and controls all uses of the song (e.g. printing, publishing, mechanical reproduction, synchronization, etc.) unless or until those rights are assigned to another party.

Canada’s Copyright Act allows anyone to copy a music recording for their private use. However, a system has been put in place to compensate rights holders for this use of their work : the private copying levy.

So if you are registered with one or more of the organizations listed in the chart, you will receive compensation from the people supplying blank cd's.
