And for the record, they are planning to tax internet connections too, because everybody use internet to download copyrighted material and we all know it. So not only we have like the shittiest "broadband" in Europe but we are going to pay even more for it. Fuck the SGAE, I say.

they've had that in France for like 4 or 5 years on all blank cd dvd media.

Considering doing it to hard drives too.


The lame thing is the Sacem ( music copyright management org ) is so bad at distributing the rights that the artists never get what they're truly entitled to.

I really think this a only a way for the government to get more money, because they wont go to the right places (in most cases)

If the norwegian government didnt spend their money on shit, we wouldnt have equal laws like this.

Huh, where did 250 come from? It's 25; they have 50GB discs too, in fact "TDK Develops 2X, 100GB Blu-ray Disc Prototype" (blu-ray.com). That's going to be so costly.

Now THAT'S just f***ed.
That's like saying; "Oh - you bought some spraypaint, you're prolly going to tag on everything, that's expencive to clean. That'll be 1000us$ in pre-cleaning-tax"

Perhaps the Swedish government should just thorw you straight in jal once you buy a recordable device and charge you with attempted-theft. That'll save them all the trouble.

Ahh pre-crime

hehe yeah - the wonders of modern technology?!..

I think its amazing that the government pre-assumes that ppl only wanna harm the digital industry with copies etc, and therefor charges extra for e.g. cd's dvd's...
