The Australian record companies say it is. "No DJ has the right to copy any commercial recording for their own use," says Michael Williams |
record companies really do need to buy themselves a f'kin clue. the levels they're reaching to to try n diminish piracy are rather pathetic. fine isnt it how we have a bunch of corporate morons, who havent the slightest comprehension of what music is about, or certain roles it has/plays. i mean, "no dj has the right to copy any commercial recording for their own use". do they have a slightest clue of what a role of a dj entails? pfft. anything to increase the dollar value. why not crush the musical passions of many while you're at it.
yup. as the article says, bring on the jukeboxes.
lets gooooo baaaaack in time. |

im not sure i've ever read a stupider article than that
trance music is pretty well only accessed thru sharing networks, i dont think i have seen any cd aside from MOS etc in a jb hi-fi with trance music on it... this blows, if they keep up with this, not only are they gonna ruin so much business for clubs, but artists and great djs will be out of business! i say that someone should dump a semi trailer load of horse manure right in front of the court that instigated this and put a nice sign in the middle which clearly states how intellectually challenged they are
... if anyone takes my collection of music i'll fkn sue them for the amount of hours i had to pay to my isp so i could download it
them!!! |

Some drugs lead to physical addiction, some people who take drugs can get mentally addicted, when they are, and no money is left to buy drugs, what do they do? steal . Drugs lead to deaths from people taking bad stuff or overdosing. Drugs lead to a lot of social problems not only limited to stealing and death. Poverty from addiction, Congestion of the court system with petty offences due to drugs, Violence, Murder, a tonne of social problems. Drug dealers somewhere down line will have to pay tax proportionate to their declared income by laundering the money to make their earnings look legitimate or they can end up having their possessions seized and sold by the government (at least in W.A.). However that isnt to stop drug dealers declaring less than they actually earned and risking getting caught out. If the government was interested in tax money from drugs they would legalise them to an extent where registered retailers could sell them at a certain price (which im sure 80% of it would be tax) like smokes or alcahol.

i think you just contradicted your own arguement dude, alchohol causes all these same problems but is still legal, its a money making thing and thats all there is too it. They dont give 2 s about our physical health and the other wank they go on about.
they know that the drug trade would always be able to evade the tax system due to its underground nature, so they might as well make illegal to try and stop it. |

There is no doubt that record companies (or at least the music divisions of the big media companies)are in serious trouble. They most definitely lose money from internet file-swapping.
I doubt however that prosecuting punters in Australia that host MPs is really effective given the MP3's can be hosted on sites located in countries like Russia which do not respect intellectual property laws. |
