...just to let you know.
There has been tax on CD-RW for a while now, so this is just the continuation.
I think it's completely stupid to charge _anyone_ who is buying recordable media, regardless of what they are going to record on it.
On the other hand, I would think that at least more than halve of CD-RW bought will get pirated material recorded on. But it's still silly.
The good part is, I won't get sued for copying stuff. Not here. I like Spain.
You think it's coincidence that the type of tv programmes you listed are the cheapest ones to produce? They push the shows thats the cheapest, yet above the limit of view-a-bility for the general public (Sorry for my english). How much do you think a reality or game show costs?
Here in Spain normally only air tv is available without paying, with 5 nationwide channels, plus a few regional channels maybe. In the afternoon on ~3 of the main channels they show "Telenovelas", which are romance dramas, incredibly cheap, with incredibly bad actors, apparently never ending - including cheap cliffhanger in every episode, bought from Southamerica for what i figure must be peanuts, and they dont even have to translate them. It's just the cheapest they can get, and they figger that they can push that.
