Its a lost war for the industry, maybe they will win in some but...... it4s
imposible to put gates to the heaven!!!They must put more creativity to
sell.

Here in Spain we are in worst position. We have the (Canon digital(, Its a
special tax to the all digital support (cd,dvd,usb memory,hard disk,etc) and
all kind of reproduction machine(computers,dvd,mp3 players,hi-fi
recorders,etc) to the customer buying. Zapatero4s spanish goverment treat us
like thieves without beeing able to demostrate it. It makes me feeling like
living in a comunist country, defenseless. Obviously now I feel free in my
conscience to download everything wat I want, I have already paid for it in
the hardware.

In France goverment are studyng now a law to disconect internet conexion to
homes that it will be probe that they have downloaded copyright content.
