Yep. It's in Apple's interest to provide this warning, seeing as people are getting electrocuted from using cheaper malfunctioning cables. I can imagine if this warning wasn't present, some idiot would think it's Apple's fault for the damage caused by the cable and then sue.
It will be receiving campaign money (Germany has a system where the parties receive tax money to cover their expenses during the campaigns, based on the number of votes they got, but you need a certain amount to receive any at all. The purpose of the system is to make sure not only the rich can afford campaigns, and parties don't need to rely on contributions from lobbyists/companies/etc. to campaign).
Oh neat. We have that in Canada. Well not for long, as it's on the newly elected majority government's top agenda to be ridden of.
I suggest you finally read up on this. It's a common misconception over a law that's over a decade old. The levy does not in fact legalize pirating media at all.
"In conjunction with the levy, the Copyright Act allows individuals to make copies of sound recordings for their own private, non-commercial use. They may not distribute the copy."
This means copying a CD you've purchased to your computer and then burning a copy for yourself. Not downloading an album (e.g. from a torrent site) and certainly not uploading an album.

Just play Civilization - you can spread your culture and slowly your enemies cities will want to join you.
I LOVE that game! My favourite technique is to spread my corporations everywhere and then use the UN to force the communist countries to adopt Environmentalism (i.e. not State Property) thus allowing my corporations to run free in their cities, giving me $$$ =D
