/Included in it was a refund from the tax that is put on all recordable media in Sweden. Whenever CDRs, mp3-players or similar items are sold, an extra fee of 0,04 crowns/megabyte is added and later paid back to the artists./

Umm, is that math right? Wouldn’t that be around 2800 krona (465 USD) per spindle (assuming 100 700 MB disks)?!

How can I be pirating something by creating a CD version of it whe I have already paid a piracy tax to compensate artists for the activity. Don’t i inherently obtain the ability to do the activity by pre-compensating for it. Especially when its the media industry that imposed those fees.

ezee.se is a Swedish site, atleast its a swedish domain (the .se is the swedish tld) The people writing there are pretty gutsy and pull few punches calling the mpaa and riaa slime, douchebags,gangsters and so on maybe piratebay influence? it does not get updated as frequently as here but i still like reading there, and esp like their new RIAA logo, although it might get them into a bit of trouble for going a step too far??
obviously the guys who mantain ezee read here because theres always a comment from them with a link bak to thir site. might be a shamless plug but they do write on topic so does not bother me much, once i did see 3 links in one tiny post… and the guy later apoligised for it.. cant remember the post though maybe 2 or 3 posts back? (sorry english is not my first languge)

thats called “a shameless plug” many people are doing it unfortunately to spam just some totall shit and up until now Ernesto has given to little attention to that annoying problem!

In the case of the plug you mentioned I guess thats a bit differnt since that page has “real” content and therefor get some slack cuted here.

to the other guys that quote each other. DO not jsut use the comment number# if you refer to something since these numbers obviously change in this workpress setup in case when some spam comments gets deleted later by the team or some comment with links that was in the waiting queue get switched life by TF-Team guys.

Do it like i did here, refer to the commenters name (and/or the timestamp shown next to it)

@ #1

You’re an idiot. I’m glad TF talks about this artists, it is important to support them anyway we can. After all we are all on the same boat…

@ 31, no it’s not. why would anyone want to post malware on the internet ?

nonsense.

this is a false accusation. Unless you download it and clicked the thing, you can’t prove it.

now download it and click, don’t trust the anti-malware scanners.

Click it.

This asshole has been spamming his trojan infected malware on several forums. Please post this douchebag’s IP so the trackdown (and the asskicking) can begin.

Pirate tax is a bunch of BS. All of this is caused by the RIAA — they say they do it to protect the artists, but they are actually doing it to make more money for themselves. The artists end up getting like 2% of their album sales — they get most of their money from concerts and merchnadise.

So people spreading their songs around actually helps them, not hurt. It only hurts the RIAA. RIAA are a bunch of chocolate-eyed pigs

Nothing on class action lawsuits?
Nothing on sandvining?
Freepress convention for media reform?
FCC chairman pledging (although not unexpectedly, one day later the FCC betrays us again by saying broadband is “fine” in america) to split duo-polies and enforce net neutrality?
(this is a reply to the first poster btw who wanted other news)
Wow…so unlike torrentfreak to not aggrandize small things to agitate the base.

@20 i like what you’re saying. if i am paying a pirate tax on burnable media and then use it to burn a home movie or home slideshow or nin/radiohead/mr. suitcase/free music album shouldn’t i be entitled to a rebate of some kind.
