PS
The tories giveth and the tories taketh away.. they will always find a way to claw back what little bit they flake off for the little guy.
remember the tories are about big business and protecting the affluent and rich...... its the little guy who takes it up the ass ... when the tories are in power...

We will see who actually votes in favor of this one everyone knows the Libs like to support the arts and the CBC. If they vote against it the artsy fartsy types might turn on them. Another decision that Dion could fumble.

I can read anyones book at the public library ,, so how come we dont have a levy on borrowed books to help Stephan King...

Libraries buy these books under terms of use agreements and also your tax dollars are subsidising these purchases as well. Also notice they lend out a book they are not buying one book and taking it in the back with a printing press and publishing 1000s more of the same book and sending them across the world to everyone.

I dont see why we have to help say Celine Dion who is a billionaire. protect her income..

Maybe if I deem you more wealthy than I you think I should be able to walk into your home and take perhaps your stereo or maybe your car? Because hey I think you can afford to buy a new one so I should be able to steal from you. Theft is theft regardless of someone's situation and you think most people would have learnt this in kindergarten that is wrong to take things from people without asking permission to do so.

$1:

I say if its on the net and you have bought and own the equiptment it up for grabs.. same as Satilites.. if its in our sky over head..its ours.... I say fuck em.. dont buy these items if levies are placed on them.. see how fast they deal with it...

There is equipment to probably be able to break into a bank vault too but just because you can does not make it right to do so. I'm no fan of levies or excess taxes either since they will just end up hurting manufacturers and their distributors which does nothing but rob peter to pay paul. However what are recording companies and their clients supposed to do?

Do iPods copy music? I thought they simply stored digital music files.

As for 'stealing' - buying a CD and sharing the files with others isn't stealing - it's sharing.

I have no sympathy for producers who've taken advantage of more efficient digital media and have neglected to pass that benefit on to consumers.

No skippy so put that little thing away - told ya the stick dont bend like that.... and as I mentioned in my response (but you were too quick to respond - guess the wifes used to that huh?) if ya hadnt mentioned my name I wouldnt have said a thing.

I realise the chain is hard to follow - hopefully the wife is still helpin ya with the hard stuff.

Did you mean to respond to me?

Sorry Clog - Break and Enter, and Theft of Property is a crime.

Copyright infringement is a Tort at best. Copying music CD's for personal use is legal in Canada, as is location shifting.

The CIRA would have you believe it is a crime, but it is not. Making me pay an extra $25 for the 2G thumb drive I just paid $10 for because I *might* copy music to it (when I really use it to back up personal data) is the crime. And you're falling for their propaganda.

If they made 'mix' CDs like people wanted, or had a $17 CD actually with $17 worth of music on it, they might sell more. Capitalism is about meeting the market demand at a reasonable price. Legislating the price or poor market strategies isn't capitalism.

We've seen that the RCMP have been busting the big crime groups for DVD piracy - so why do we need, as non infringing public, to pay more into their coffers? Does Da Vinci get paid every time someone takes a photo of 'David'?
