Ripping CDs

So does this really effect Beosound 5's, and maybe those with Moments who have ripped material on them? Ho would this effect ITunes with ripped CDs downloaded onto it?

'The music industry wants a tax to be applied to blank CDs, hard drives, memory sticks and other blank media, which could then be shared among rights holders. This system is already in place in some European countries.'

It is all about the money!

They know, that they can't prohibit copying - and want 'compensation' (as they call it).

Nothing new to people living in Germany.

So the media industry was so far behind the curve that it never saw piracy and the rise of the internet.  Then it claims to have 'caught up' and realised that the future of the computer industry is people buying physical media like CD-Rs ?!  This is laughably tragic.

theyre just flogging a dying horse as they say

It may be an old horse, but I am not so sure, that it is dying - not yet anyway.
