When are we going to wake up?

If the Copyright Board of Canada had their way, Canadians would pay a levy not just on recordable CDs, but on anything that could be used to store music in digital form. That includes iPods and other media players, computers, SD memory cards, etc.

This of course presumes that the music on everyone's electronic devices is all pirated content.

Message to the government of Canada: my tax dollars should not be spent on propping up the failing business model of a dinosaur industry that refuses to adapt its sales strategy according to the wishes of its customers.

Imagine if oil companies could sue people who operate windmills or solar panels, because the oil industry wasn't getting their due........
