Absolutely. Since the government, with this bill, did not completely scrap the levy on blank CDs, they do recognize that copies have value. I don't understand why they're only keeping it on devices that are phased out. They're becoming completely obsolete.
I would like you to try to go to any other group and say, “We believe you can live on two-thirds of your income, so we're going to take that other third.” Why does the government feel it has the right to do it to artists, especially people who live on, literally, between $12,000 and $30,000 a year? We're not talking about rich people here. We're talking about people who take every dollar and stretch it beyond any reasonable amount.
