Not Bell, not the CRTC, not the federal government, not our Prime Minister Stephen Harper, not the the fderal Minister of Consumer Affairs, Jim Prentice.. not any provincial consumer affairs Minister, but only the citizems, the news media, and the NDP party care about the citizens good welfare really it seems.

I think the record companies are taking the p*** out of everyone as they make a f***ing fortune from record & dvd sales alone worldwide. It isn't because the singers & songwriters are not getting their money's worth, more likely the fat cats at the top of the chain(SONY,EMI and others) are just moaning about the drop in PROFITS (at the same time still making approx 200 millon dollars profit per year and still growing). Well when i heard of a well known artist that put one of his latest hits on the net for people to download for what THEY WANTED TO PAY, from full retail price to nothing at all, my first reaction was "if one person can upload and allow for free downloading, why cant the record companies". The internet was set up for file and information sharing globewide wasn't it?. I’ve read the above and am a little confused with what the problem really is.
