You mean Sony&Philips selling music through their music labels
and also selling a *LOT* of CD and DVD writers ? :)

And even better... you can get the blank cd's and dvd's from
the same company who sells you the 'original' one.

Fun stuff here in the Netherlands and prolly in many other
countries is that stores are actually able and will sell
empty burnable cd's and dvd's per palet ;)
Just wander into some computertype store and they have
enough of those there. If they really didn't want one to
copy cd's etc why are they selling blanks in the first place then?

Another nice trick is that here in .nl one pays a 'tax'
that is going to the audio-rights whatever organisation.
Thus you are actually paying the rights for the possible
things you are recording on to it. I wonder though where
that money goes as I never saw a euro back for all the
picture discs, backups of my own creations etc.

Aaah... hold on a bit I know what that is called:
industrialisation and ofcourse mass-consumption of
everything they put down our throats.

Greets,
 Jeroen
