| Who wouldn't want this deal Are you guys crazy!!!! I would much rather pay $5-$10 a month for unlimited music, plus you can go to limewire or bitTorent to download as much songs as you want, and not get suied!! I pay for my music, and if this tax happens, I would just stop going to walmart or iTunes to buy tracks, I will just download all the music I want. Matter of fact, I hope the game industry and movie industry does the same thing, because I would rather pay $10 more a month to download all the movies I want, then going to a movie theater and spending about $25 on 1 movie. Let me do the math you would rather watch 1 movie for a cost of $13 (without popcorn, etc.), over paying $10 and watching as many movies as you want???? Well finance and common sense will tell me take the $10 deal, I don't care who gets the money, as long as I'm entertain I frankly don't care. Same with the game industry. A game for the wii cost about $50, with the tax I don't have to wait in line for that game just
get up and download it, for 10 bucks, and belive me that won't be the only game I download. Some actually posted you will probably be paying a total of $120-$130 more a month on you internet bill, well if you add all the shot I will download when I pay that $130, I know I will be downloading $500 worth of music, movies, and games a month saving me $370. For those who's said people that say it's not fair if you buy your music, well stop buying muisc pay your monthly fee and get all the music you want. You can't sit there and tell me you would rather pay $50 worth of songs, instead of paying $10 for those 50 songs, it will be legal do download from limewire and bittorent, so just get your music there. It's call COMMON SENSE people. | |

I pay USD $41.70 every 6 months ($6.95 / month) to Live365.com to listen to music I like. I prefer it that way. I'm paying $29.95/month for 512/512 kbits service ( Look Ma, I got SDSL  ). It's perfectly adequate for 128 kbits/sec streaming audio.

It's call COMMON SENSE people. Gee it must be nice to be someone with no friends and and no job, who lives in his mother's basement, and has nothing better to do than listen to downloaded music and watch downloaded movies and play downloaded games all his waking hours. And it's really nice of your mother to subscribe to an ISP with REAL unlimited bandwidth. And your mommy also buys you an additional terrabyte of hard drives every month to store all the crud you download. Tell me, does she also sort, catalogue, and backup your downloaded files for you?
I happen to hold down a day job, and I also happen to have a life. To paraphrase an old saying "having a life gets in the way of an internet". I have maybe 1 or 2 free hours weekday evenings. I'd rather watch TV or "flip the switch" and pay Live365 to play the music I like, rather than waste my time downloading and organizing a bunch of files. On weekends, I watch football/hockey/baseball/NASCAR/etc on my 50" plasma HDTV.
And $130/month to bail out a bunch of dying media industries won't be the end. Is the auto industry in trouble? No problem; simply tax everybody $1,000 per month, and give them a coupon every 4 years to buy a new 2-ton-lead-sled pimpmobile from Detroit. | |
| First off, I'm a 20 year old college student who lives on campus and I don't care if I still live with my parents on vacation time. I have time to do these things, because one thing I learn in College was how to manage my time. I have friends, I go to the movies, clubs, parties, and I still have time to sit down and play video games. My mother pay my bills, yes and I'm grateful she does, because not a lot of people are fortunate as me, to live during college worry free. Now back to the main topic, the one before you made up this life I live, I don't care about these companies, and where the money is going. If they fail they fail, if they become mega rich good for them I could careless, as long as I'm entertain, and a buffet full of music, movies, and games I'm happy. Should you be judging yourself, think about it, you don't want a tax or fee like this to happen, because you don't want to save these companies?? Umm why should you care if they are saved or not???you don't work for them, and you don't have any affiliation I assume. Get over it. Pay your monthly bill, and download anything you want. Obviously you had time to read my message, and respond back, with a fee or tax like the one being place you could have download 3-5 songs during that time period. Add it up 3-5 songs a day hmm I'm sure I will brake even ( download 10 songs) in 1 week, and I still have 3 more weeks worth of free music to download. | |
