		<description>&quot;The Canadian government allows innocent seals to be brutally murdered and they ignore the violent crime that goes on in major cities, but they have made &quot;illegal file sharing&quot; a priority.&quot;

like to add, health care is going down the tubes, homelessness is on the rise, we are investing less and less in our military and now have the americans &quot;protecting&quot; us ... I agree far more more important issues than p2p. 

I&#039;m in total agreement, get rid of the levy if our fair use rights are taken away in the soon to be new WIPO based copyright law. I wont stop purchasing cdr&#039;s ... I just wont be buying them in canada anymore  ;) </description>

		<description>I&#039;m also disgusted by this and from this point on I will no longer purchase music CD&#039;s.  File sharers like me have been branded thieves by the recording industry, ignorant artists and politicians.  I have been downloading mp3&#039;s from P2P networks since Napster came out.  I have since used several other P2P networks.  I have also continued to purchase music CD&#039;s.  

Since my opinion doesn&#039;t seem to matter to the Canadian government, even though I am a Canadian citizen I will vote with my wallet and stop buying music CD&#039;s.  This way, the record industry will not make any more money from me.  

I have voted for the Federal Liberal party in the last 2 elections but in the upcoming election I will vote for the NDP.  They seem to be the only major party that does not oppose P2P.  The Liberals and Conservatives both cater to the corporations and they obviously do not care about people like me.

I am a proud Canadian but people like Paul Martin and the leader of the conservative party almost make me feel ashamed of being a Canadian citizen.

The Canadian government allows innocent seals to be brutally murdered and they ignore the violent crime that goes on in major cities, but they have made &quot;illegal file sharing&quot; a priority.

This is not right and something has to change.  This has nothing to do with getting music for &quot;free&quot;.  This has to do with priorities.  </description>

		<description>Well, if this happens it bloody well better still be legal to d/l in the name of fair use.  And as a result be able to store files withiin a shared folder without being subject to big music tyranny.

I have this feeling that we&#039;ll get screwed, have to pay higher levies and lose fair use - well if the corps have their way that is.

Cripes, one blank CD&#039;s cost will be mostly levy, ahhhhh the typical Cdn way, just like gas, liqour etc etc etc

Now they&#039;ll take 45% of my salary and then nail me again later, and again, and again....

What is it again, we&#039;re the 2nd highest taxed nation in the world?  Seems like the liberals want to be number one in something - but it aint the polls.</description>
