  3. Re:CD-R Tax? on CRIA Files Appeal In Canadian Uploading Case · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Yes we pay a tax on all media able to contain MP3 or copied music (tape, CDR, hard drive, etc) The hole in the law was made by the lawmaker themselves!! Remove the levy on media and reinforced the law or touch nothing!

  4. Re:Blacklist on Blocking Pop-ups at the ISP Level? · · Score: 1

    Really nice site.

    I use a method like SurfControl do to kill almost all popups thru my firewall. SurfControl act as a proxy or pass-by filter. It uses a database of advertising sites and blocks them. By applying the same filtering in my firewall, with the Dan Pollock hosts file, I can achieve a very good level of filtering on all my hosts.

    To answer the question, by applying filtering thru a proxy (squid for example), you can give your uses a way to choose and if so to block ads/popups.
