250/4.7 = 53 times. multiply $7 by 53 and you end up with $371 in TAX for a blu-ray disc, plus the actual price...
or did I do something wrong?
I think its crazy anyway, dont you guys? |
Yes.
In Spain I can't remember the exacttax we have to pay, but for 50 cds you have to pay something near 25 euros, when back in 2002 you could buy them for like 15 euros. That means 10 euros more for 50 cds, so we are paying like 0.20 euros for every blank cd we buy. I don't know if it's the same with dvds since I didn't have a dvd-rw back then. |

| 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 tiest "broadband" in Europe but we are going to pay even more for it. the SGAE, I say. |

At least you have broadband. We got ours here like 2 months ago. |

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 , 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 :p |

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... |
