you just stole something you Hippocrates

I think the real question is if they impose a levy why should the money go to companies that already make significant incomes rather than to support arts funding to help artists that do not have the loot?

So I am supposed to feel bad for not contributing money into the hands of a broken system? The majority of big record labels who are crying about all the lost money are the same people who sign gullible young talent... have them spend way too much money on production and take large portions of the profits to pay back the "investment". It is a disgusting broken, and might I say BLOATED system. Also think about the distribution model of the CD... The various levels of manufacturing to get all the raw materials necessary to make the disc, the packaging, and the sleaves... not only is it wasteful, but it costs money. Then all the muckluck of shipping things back and forth between manufactoring plants, printing facillities, warehouses, store fronts, it just frustrates me!~ I understand the need to make a profit, and I understand the need to run a business... but the selling of physical medium is a wasteful process that I just don't feel like supporting. We as consumers have spent too much time wasting our money on wasteful unnecessary systems to line the pockets of a few executives who have put more creativity into marketing platforms than in to the material itself. Kev has it right... in both his beliefs and in his sharing. Intellectual property is a myth... and we have been wasting time, resources, and money on its distribution.

Although fwiw I also celebrate Moctober

So i am a Canadian artist who has made mp3's that have gone online... I make way less money then those joes... where is my cut? Fucking backwards greedy nonsense "We're all part of a club... give us money seeeeee"

I too was deeply saddened by the news... my heart goes out to you Brian... If you need any vibes you can wipe my account clean... yours to keep
