    Fighting Music Piracy In Canada (Article Written in 1897) (BestActEver)

    You thought that music piracy was a product of modern times, didn’t you? Have a look at the image below (and the original PDF linked at the bottom) for a New York Times article from June, 1897 discussing music piracy - of course the perpetrators were Canadian.

    Naturally. The United States - blaming Canada for all of their problems since 1897.

    112 years later, they are still bitching and still not dead from the "losses"

    I'm surprised at the term "piracy" being used. I thought that originated somewhat recently.
    Here's Britney Spears' private jet... The gulf stream 3 doesn't even have a remote control for its surround sound DVD system. Still think downloading music for free isn't a big deal?

    wtf? I used to record all my albums in the seventies on the cassette. Wasn't as easy as d/l and burning but at one point I had over 600 cassettes. It takes me back to my trusty Dual 604 and a Teac deck. :sadwavey:
