Let me return to the issue of iPod levies. As you know, it is I who submitted the motion here at this table, who has tabled it and had it passed. Among other reasons, I did so because artists must be paid for their work. When you say that this is not a serious problem because if they are not paid for recorded music, they will be for their public performances later on, this makes me very uneasy. It's like having a university professor who works for nothing because we expect him to be paid for his conferences outside of the classroom.
This seems unjust and makes no sense. Clearly, even with an iPod levy, artists would not entirely recover their losses even if we don't expect that to happen. This is because much of the musical works downloaded on iPods are done so legally but there still is all the other possibilities available through MP3--
