'TAX'? That's a different thread and covered EU stuff.
I started with a 'hidden charge' added to cost of blank mediums to
compensate for some of the lost 'revenue' due to illegal copying. This
'hidden charge' isn't on paper. It's an 'gentlemen's agreement' that
increases profits thru many means, the 'proping up' of stocks is one of the
many methods.
Overall sales and profits of the entertainment industry has risen steadily,
therefore big companies are still making profits, but the 'little guy/girl'
is losing out.
Well, time for some more french-pressed Kona...mmmm
