this is complete and utter crap....the fact is and always will be that very few people if anyone buy a cd burner and get internet acess with the plan of only using it to pirate music and movies....people sometimes use it for..humm... idunno...checking email, talking in chatrooms, looking at porn, and backing up your hard drive, and sharing perfectly LEGAL files with a freind. The idea of proposing a tax for cd burners and internet access just for prodecers and music artists to recoup their losses is totaly flagrant. I know for a fact that none of the artists are going broke just because of morpheous and programs like it. Has anyone here ever seen "MTV cribs" yeah im sure snoop dogg is really having trouble finding the money to eat...come on guys this is completely retarded. I download music to see if i like the songs enough to buy the cd like alot of people do. Im not going to buy a cd just because its Eminems new cd...theres a chance i wont like it and then i would have spent $15 or more for a shiny coaster...everyone in the RIAA just needs to be back-handed
