| Re: Hmm said by netwire  :I'm not sure about this. On one hand, sure for $5 to $10/mo unlimited downloading and sharing does not seem bad. But on the other hand, so many people would opt in for this that connections would become even more bogged down and the networks overloaded. Bad, bad, bad! Once it starts, it will never stop. Today $5. Tomorrow, OOOPS, [CEO] my pension plans needs a fill up by $200M. Inflate the "voluntary" $5 by 200%.
Then of course, there are the other players that will now feel left out;
1. The electronic games people.
2. The software people (like Microsoft and SCO - they want their license fees even though you are using Linux!)
3. The movie industry
4. The porn industry
5. The telco's (you are using VoIP, aren't you?)
6. The NSA, CIA, FBI, MI5/6, XYZ police (you are using VPN, aren't you?)
7. The government revenue bottom feeders (fees for collecting the collections of "taxes")
8. The newspapers
9. The book and magazine publishers
10. The electricity industry
Where will it end once the gate has been opened for the muckraking music industry?
No thanks. I won't be paying any tax to any damn music or movie industry. The idea is BAD, BAD, BAD! I puke whenever I read news about so called voluntary taxes, because like all taxes, it doesn't remain voluntary - it becomes compulsory. |
