  1. The NET Act could increase the price of CDs? on Copyright Infringement In the News · · Score: 1

    Perhaps the NET Act will increase the prices for CDs.

    First, to protect users from the NET Act, Kazaa et al. upgrade with the feature to count the running cost of uploads within the past 180 days. This would be calculated based on the then-current value of the products as uploaded. Once the total cost approaches the lowest threshold ($1000), uploads are stopped until enough time passes so that the past-180-day upload cost drops below danger level.

    Second - in response - the record companies raise the prices of CDs in an attempt to circumvent this work-around?
