New law!! for music cd/dvd owned, you're no longer allowed to copy songs for private use

It's greed and nothing else, as for taxing blank media, who says that the media is going to be used for music anyway.
 
I thought CDs, DVDs etc were sold under licence. I know the whole IP argument is circular but I'm not sure what this 'New Law!!' will actually do in practical terms.
 
Where da police at

999 how may I help you?


Yeh I need the police, I can see a theft going on

Ok sir what's happening and where is the location

My friends room, he is copying a foo fighters album to mp3, come quick
 
10 years from now:

Mass Murderer: What are you in for?

Me: I copied my CD collection onto my phone & ripped all my blu-rays onto my PC...

Mass Murderer: 1st time on Death Row? :rolleyes: :mad: :p
 
What a joke, poor artists they really are living in the gutter because of piracy.

No sympathy for multi millionaires whining they need more money.

It was like when they launched Tidal and you had a collective of artists on stage worth billions, telling us how hard they have it because they're not making money. I was like "please, like you didn't Wu-Tang financial the minute you made money."

And the thing is, I still buy a **** ton of music.
 
Instead of keeping copies free, they suggested that a tax should be applied to blank media including blank CDs, hard drives, memory sticks and other blank media. This money would then be shared among rightsholders, a mechanism already operating in other European countries.

So basically all hard drives should be taxed on the off chance I fill it with music I already own. Interesting concept. Really makes me want to rush out and buy physical media!

They are after a tax again. It happened with cassette tape, video tape and then CD's but the world has moved on and the same arguments come up each time.
