what the f%ck
I live in Canada, and every blank cd/dvd/vhs tape/blank cassette/ mp3 player that i've purchased, I've paid a levied tax on(which supposedly gets paid to the artists((or the coyright holders))). Would I be wrong in assuming that i could dl some songs from, say, kazaa?
I mean, come on, you can't have your cake and eat it too(no-one else seems to be able too) . Is there any other fedederal tax that I have to pay that I might get sued over? what about medicare? If I think i might need to go to the doctor and he says it's not life threatening, does that give the hospital grounds to sue me? |

I have been wondering the same. If the (sometimes quite high) taxes on blank media are justified on the assumption of people recording copyrighted material on them, and considerable sums are collected from consumers to copyright owners that way, there's not much logic in harassing people for doing just that. Except the logic of greed and corruption, of course.

hehe..yeh what the fo|ock
i would use alot more media backing stuff up than making perfect copies of copyrighted stuff..
dont ask me about all the zips and rars i back up tho... seriously tho..using double standards what seems like dis-information they are going to end up looking worse and worse over crap like this, till at some point it will start to affect any valid arguments they might have..

meanwhile none of this has been tested in court and judges have the last word, but basically until they do, downloading is legal, uploading is questionable. - js. |

Hope your not on this list. If so, then good luck! The courts are going to decide soon if ISP's are to give up your info to the Canadian Recording Industry for your mp3 activity.
