Re: Sounds good to me... I think it is you who isn't understanding. I don't *WANT* the industry -- any industry -- to be able to put a tax on my Internet connection because they think I'm going to pirate their work. If one industry gets the chance, more will pile on until our ISP costs will skyrocket. Meanwhile, the major players in the industries will make sure the fund dispersion rules are set to maximize their profits and minimize payouts to the artists.
If the tax is voluntary, that might be fine because I would never sign up for a tax like that. I'd prefer to keep my $60-$120 per year and use it as I see fit. I don't think that the record industry wants it to be voluntary, though. |
