The Copyright Royalty Board (CRB) decided not to change the music royalty fees for online sales. Therefore Apple's threat earlier this week to shut down its iTunes service is highly probable to change. That rate now remains set at 9.1 cents per song, or 1.75 per minute for any song lasting longer than 5minutes and 12 seconds.
