U.S. Goverment Trying To Pass Download Fee

the u.s. government is currently lobbying with help from universal and EMI to add a 75$ fee to your ipod that would in return pay the music industry for using the music whether it is legal or not. what are some thoughts?

    F the fees... those are my thoughts

    Isnt music Art?

    Isnt there some law or something saying that art is public domain?

    I could be wrong...

    I believe that the gov't would probably shave off A LOT of that money to keep for themselves.

    Impossible to fairly/properly distribute the 75 dollars. Fail idea.

    They should just implement the thing were you would pay a monthly fee to listen to all music. I would be soooo down for that.

    Meh it doesn't bother me because with my EVO I don't even use my ipod anymore. Plus it dies the other day. So I'm ipod-less for now. But it would make sense for them to try and "make-up" for the so called millions the music industry has lost due to piracy.

    It will never pass, it is a frivolous attempt to gain more money. There are hundreds of these made every year and they very rarely are passed.

    I don't think this will ever come into fruition. Just something for the music industry to erk listeners.

    @pft public domain art is when the copyright on the art is no longer existing which causes it inn return to be public domain

    @archon6 i totally agree with your statement.

    So they're going to charge us to listen to music, even if we don't have any music on our ipods? I call that TYRANNY.
