I had to read that a couple of times to understand what they were trying to say.

And to that I say what a load of absolute crap.

The War On Illiteracy – Result: More illiteracy, kids read less, kids speak less fluently

The War On Drugs – Result: You can get drugs easily in ANY neighborhood in the US

The War On Poverty – Result: A shrinking, almost non-existent middle class, a growing poor class, a growing class of the richest & growing income disparity

The War On File-Sharing – Anyone want to predict the result???

“The Private copying levy currently provides rights holders with approximately 2.8 cents per “lost sale” for copies made to blank CDs, and nothing for copies made to personal computers or, following today’s decision, to digital audio recorders. At Puretracks or iTunes, rights holders receive 99 cents. Thus a single legal download sale compensates rights holders 50 times as much as the levy would.”

Cause the levy was made for fair compensation and the price at “legal” dl sites was made to screw people. Notice they used right holders and not artists there are well. Does anyone know what the actual breakdown is? I remeber reading somewhere that $0.10 went to the artist and the rest went to the cartel.
