Bill C-61, in trying to protect copyright holders and put a cap on the usage and availability of copyright material, are essentially making those that rely on that material for creative purposes, copyright criminals. Educator's, students and ordinary people alike including other musicians will no longer have the accessibility to material they do now under Bill C-61. The repercussions on downloading or disseminating copyright material are expensive.

Known for their ambitious and alternative methods to distributing their music, The Craft Economy is a Toronto based band that infamously packages and tapes their CD's to telephone and hydro poles around the GTA. This particular image is of a CD distributed by the band to promote awareness of Creative Commons and the perils of Bill C-61 and the affects it would have of creative creations.

The following image is representative of the affects of Bill C-61 on the everyday user. According to "The Times Online Magazine", the average teenagers iPod carries over 800 illegally downloaded tracks. That being said, if that same student had bought those 800 songs at 99 cents it would cost them 792 dollars. The average teenage does not make 792 dollars and the creative things they make from 800 songs are what shape this culture.
