I remember the teacher getting laughed at, and the irony of the hole ordeal was this teacher gave me something like 30/30 on a fully copied word for word verbatim critique of some orchestra that I didn't even bother listening to. I recall 1 student even pointing out the flaws in the way she tried to teach the fair dealing provisions. The only good thing I took away from that lesson was citing sources effectively as to not put yourself in a position to be labeled an infringer. Every time I see your kids and cartels articles its the first thing that comes to mind, though at that time I never even fathomed that it was the cartels forcing this on us.

On the sale of a compact disc at $15.39: • The retailer keeps $2.96. • The distributor receives $4.38. • The record company receives $4.36. • The disc manufacturer gets $1.44. • The performer receives $1.41. • The author-composer receives $0.84. wow, given those figures, wouldn't it make much more sense to cut out the 2 positions with the biggest share and have that percentage given directly to the artists involved? you know, an artist as a tax payer probably has to pay more taxes then those big global record companies/distributors that can benefit from "legal tax evasion" tricks by mashing all their "losses" into one big pot with their creative accounting on their earnings. Solution for the benefit of Taxes: make record companies illegal, require that 1.41 and 0.84 guys are working together to distribute their product via p2p and benefit from much more taxes! Easy!
