How To Stop Piracy: Raid CD-R Moguls

An anonymous reader writes "In what appears to be a not-so-legal move, Mexico's equivalent of the RIAA used federal police to raid the installations of Grupo Mekong, responsible for 200 of the 400 million virgin CDs imported each year, accusing them to be "capos" of the Piracy bussiness in Mexico. What is the rationale? Record companies buy only 20% of Mekong merchandise, so the other 80% must be going to pirates! Yeah, Never mind computer users ,independent labels or other legal uses. You can see the article here but what amazes me is the behaviour! What will the next step be? Raid the truck companies who deliver the CDs? "

    10x - x = 9.99999999 - .999999999 = 9

    A capo is used to adjust a guitar's pitch higher or lower so that the same chord patterns can be used but different actual chords are produced. For example, if you learn to play a song using the C, F, and G7 chords, but need to play it in a different key (perhaps your vocalist can't sing in that range, or perhaps you want to play along with the original band that plays using D, G, A7), you can put a capo on so that the same hand pattern that normally makes a C chord now makes a D chord.

    Or perhaps you were talking about a different kind of capo...
