thats the only reason i added the link..

the register's excellent piece was too late to make the early edition but the bbc covered it the day before. that story is the fourth one this week, headlined Call To Legalise File-Sharing With Taxes. while anything (almost) is better than irritating file-sharers with deeply flawed and hypocritical laws they rightly ignore, i'm usually against these tax schemes for a variety of reasons, not least of which is the fact the industry doesn't need them, it's making a bundle already. like the vcr, peer-to-peer is putting money in thier pockets, if they'd ever bother to turn them out and look.
