Comments on: New ISP & Cellphone Tax for Unlimited Music File-Sharing? http://www.zeropaid.com/news/9002/new_isp__cellphone_tax_for_unlimited_music_filesharing/ Wed, 15 Feb 2012 04:36:45 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: Aunt Jemima http://www.zeropaid.com/news/9002/new_isp__cellphone_tax_for_unlimited_music_filesharing/#comment-182407 Aunt Jemima Wed, 30 Nov -0001 00:00:00 +0000 #comment-182407 i think that all along this has been the end solution. it has just been a question of how long it would take and how many other paths copyright holders would take before they arrived at this inevitability. i'm just surprised it is being talked about this soon. this generation thinks they have rights to anything on that internet anything that can take digital form and while they are willing to pay for access to that wealth of information they do not believe that they should have to pay beyond that. That is why a system like this article suggests could work. i think that all along this has been the end solution.

I do not like the fact either that others that do not use file sharing would have to pay...but then again I pay a LOT of public taxes on things I NEVER USE! So what is the difference? At least this way the stupid "sue em all" campaign could be put to a stop and maybe....just maybe.....the recording companies and consumers could live in peace again.

Didn't happen not going to happen." In 2001 the record companies were just gearing up with their sue em all campaign. NOW there is a legal precedant that has been ruled against the "legal boilerplate" they have used in most of their lawsuits so they are not exactly winning. And one of the "big four".... Universal..... was the one to suggest this....not some hole in the wall recording studio! So YES.... IT COULD HAPPEN! Just because it hasn't happened in the past does not mean it is not going to. I don't know where you got that reasoning from. “people have been talking about this since 2001. Didn’t happen not going to happen.”

I am very liberal when it comes to my copyrights- but this comes down to "commercial use" if sound exchange is making $ off of me. I have had this same issue with the internet radio suits as I am played on a # of internet radio stations that sound exchange is now demanding $ from- will I see any of it? I don't think so. Stupid fake theoretical sales #s that make up fake piracy losses are one thing but Sound Exchange essentially charging people rent to gain access to it is plain and simple.....piracy. the truth is as a copyright holder myself- if people share my stuff- go for it- I hope that people will support me at shows or buy merch to support my music- but if sound exchange is going to make a buck off people sharing my music then I want a cut not because I want the $ but because I don’t want someone else to make $ off of me that way.
