Important notice about Music Downloads

On behalf of the Canadian Web Music Alliance (mobrien.com; mobrienMusic.com; SpiderMonkey.ca; and WebRadio.ca/WebRadio1.net)

Stay Safe From RIAA Targeting!
Intellectual Property Rights / User Rights -- Downloaded Music Files
Our files are for the reasonable possession and enjoyment of the registered purchaser. It is important, however, that these files, once properly obtained, not be inserted into a file sharing regime. This is the controverted behaviour receiving much publicity lately. In such cases both we and the RIAA have a conflict with that controverted behaviour.
We are a responsible Canadian company (Canadian Web Music Alliance) owning and operating a range of internet publishing and software distribution properties.
It is our contention that obtaining a music file from our servers is the equivalent of visiting a brick and mortar reseller. All site visitor's are invited guests and in context must behave accordingly and abide by our Acceptable Use Policies. No special software is required, only a properly authenticated membership which is provided in the form of a "License" the purchaser is assigned and receives when paying through our e-commerce process, powered by industry giant Digital River's RegNow system (http://www.regnow.com/).

Any files or software downloaded from our internet sites will be the property of the registered (licensed) user (member) for that person's exclusive use. In common law, such files, where the possessor does not also have possession of the original medium (i.e.: a CD), are considered to be under "lease" or "license" without time limit for as long as there are no violations, which assures a set of reasonable "fair use" rights to the registered purchaser. An example of common law fair use would include sharing such resources for personal use within a household BUT NOT placing such files in the wild on the internet through file sharing programs like Kazaa, Morpheus and others of the kind; nor any other form of improper distribution in any medium. This behaviour is EXPRESSLY FORBIDDEN.

All files are tracked from the moment of download. What the user doesn't see is that each download as a registered, licensed member is traceably, verifiably registered to the member under that member's license. Consequently the member has done his/her due diligence and is assigned all rights of leased ownership.

Integrity of File Structures
All files are stored on non-routable backend file servers which feed our front-end web interfaces through secure channels -- in other words they cannot be 'poisoned' by malicious hackers. All user access is provided through double authentication security. All files are polled and scanned regularly for viruses and malware; and then again in real time at transmission to the client computer.

Important notice to parents about content.
Whereas there is a trend within the music industry to back away from prolific profanity and seditious comment in musical lyric content, we strongly suggest parents nevertheless monitor and discuss with their children any controversial music they entertain themselves with. We do not provide any assurances about the moral content of any artist's creation, and in fact are inclined to advise parents that a thorough education in the use of extreme profanity can be obtained from some musician's body of work. Please be wary of your children's preferences in music content and administer whatever censorship you see fit within your own domain. We are prepared to assist parents in this regard by any reasonable measure available too us.
