From what you wr...Your link goes to Kikar Shabbat.<br /><br />From what you wrote, it's ridiculous and dated. Nobody is going around sharing "music or videos" by "disk" or using "devices to make copies of disks". They're walking around with disk-on-key's (at NIS 22 each) and portal hard disks (at NIS 300 each for a terebyte). So either they're going to start "extra-taxing" every hard disk and disk-on-key or have 0 impact. (I've got a stack of 300 blank CD's and DVD's in my house, and the number hasn't decreased in 5 years as we don't bother to burn any.)<br /><br />Since people equally use disk-on-key's for school and business, and portal hard disks for backup and business and moving large quantities of data - do they intend to tax everyone who uses computer devices to pay musicians?<br /><br />BTW, this is EXACTLY what they do in Germany. And the musician society is a billion dollar business off all those taxes, the public pays 10% extra on every computer and electronic device, and the musicians get $100 a year.<br /><br />It's a SCAM.Akivahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13042484533217272945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20257999.post-29209060386985871262013-11-20T15:28:19.291+02:002013-11-20T15:28:19.291+02:00“We [Israel] possess several hundred atomic warhea...“We [Israel] possess several hundred atomic warheads and rockets and can launch them at targets in all directions, perhaps even at Rome. Most European capitals are 22 targets for our air force. Let me quote General Moshe Dayan: “Israel must be like a mad dog, too dangerous to bother.” I consider it all hopeless at this point. . . Our armed forces, however, are not the thirtieth strongest in the world, but rather the second or third. We have the capability to take the world down with us. And I can assure you that that will happen before Israel goes under.” - Martin van Creveld, Zionist Jew<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
