And just how does this have to do with anything?
First, what does my stock portfolio have to do with this "TAX"?
Second, What does YOUR portfolio have to do with this "TAX"?
Since this "TAX" goes to the artist and NOT the record companies or the
tape/CD manufacturers it does NOT figure into their NET profits SOOOO it
does not matter if Sony owns stock in TDK or Verbatim etc. You seem to be
wavering from the original topic I.E. The media TAX. You said that the
recording companies raised the price of blank media and I said that the only
way they could do this is if they owned the tape/cd manufacturing Company.
AND furthermore even IF they did Al la Sony, the "TAX" goes to the artist
NOT Sony.
