Hmm. I read the decision by the Federal Court of Appeal and I’m none the wiser. I read your summary of the event, and I’m none the wiser.
Please assume that your audience are not well-educated in the nefarious doings of the Canadian Recording Industry Association, and would benefit from a thumbnail sketch of the significance of the news item and a definition of terms, such as ‘shrinking list of class B members’.
I am getting older, and I count my diminishing days with dismay. As I see they are not limitless, I carefully husband my time on that which is effective and important to me and others I value.
