The levy gets them 60MILL/year 5$ = 1.2 billion roughly so counter proposal = 50 cents a month = 120 mill DOUBLE what they GET NOW. The alternative for those of you not sniffing glue or smoking crack = DMCA and AMERICAN LAWSUIT STYLE laws AND if it goes as the USA is going LIFE IN PRISON FOR "attempted copyright infringement" that means mp3 player use = life vcr = life cd burner = life copying for personal use or backup = life thats the alternative. I have at length discussed this at the faircopyright for canada page and debunked all the probs. A) let the industry figure out where the cash goes after i pay not my problem. B) don't pay the isp SHOULD have the right to shape the living crap out of you OR get dial up. C) i coun ter propose that 10% go to rebuilding the network of the said ISP such that they have to prove they are increasing speeds and capacity and not just shoving free tax cash at there shareholders. D) if you require linux or other public domain or opensource liscensed software you should have a system where the ISP can be informed and make a change for that site, i believe that most of this shaping software even allows ALL of this to be done. E) Remember that none of this matters if the DMCA comes to canada - no one will pay for internet if they can't use it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F) the traffic shaping by bell has to end or the second the tax comes im droping my internet ( wtf the speed would equate to the same cost as buying it from the riaa - SCREW THEM) G) TPM = new term for DRM DONT BE FOOLED. Non commercial copying must be allowed and uses of course.

fubar @comcast.net	Instead of going down this long and broken road, why don't we just refuse to buy from the major music producers. Just buy directly from bands that have their own website, independent from the Orgs who are ripping off the musicians. If only 15-20% of total downloads were coming directly from the musicians, many others would come on board. Lets just get rid of the middlemen, after all, with the internet we don't need them!
