罗伯特·克拉克(Robert Clark)上个月终于关掉了他设立的网站。他的这个紫点网站接受顾客的要求,提供烧录流行歌曲的服务,不过,加拿大唱片协会(Canadian Recording Industry Association)却来信警告他触犯了著作权法。克拉克今年不过十八岁,是个网站设计师,也是电脑工程师,住在加拿大亚伯达省(Albert)的加尔葛瑞(Calgary)。他的紫点网站没有得到唱片公司的许可,向顾客提供主要唱片商的流行曲目。“加拿大唱片协会也可以这么做啊。他们不做也就算了,却来管我,让我很生气。”克拉克说。唱片协会的顾问肯·汤普森(Ken Thompson)则反驳说,“你不能靠侵犯别人的知识产权来赚钱吧。”
Robert Clark finally closed his website last month. His purple-dot site, which accepts requests from customers and offers programming of popular songs, warned the copyright law law by the Canadian Recording Industry Association. Clarke, 18, is a web designer and computer engineer living in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. His purple dot site did not get the record company’s permission to provide customers with major music companies popular track. “The Canadian Recording Society can do the same, and if they do not do it, they can control me and make me angry.” Clarke said. Ken Thompson, a consultant for the Recording Society, retorts that “you can not make money by infringing someone’s intellectual property.” "
