Bxy Showcases Pirated CDs - Extension of Podcasting Session
Published Friday, November 04, 2005 by Angelo Embuldeniya | E-mail this post
As the podcasting session draws to an end, Bxy brings out a whole bunch of pirated cd's talking about how they are all a kind of podcast. But there's no central authority through which you'll get your media content any more.
Session is now over and they're getting ready to go to next session but Bxy insists upon speaking more and he points out that if you buy a blank cd in the west, you pay tax but not sure if some of it goes to the copyright holders.
(particpants/speakers gather around to check out what exactly Bxy is up to :-D)[In the IRC room I popped the question of what exactly the showcasing meant - what it signigied, to which Nick replied that it was regarding the tax part: When you buy a blank cd in europe for example, they think you actually buy it to copy music, or videos. So the music and video-industry get s a share of this tax as compensation]
(More interested people huddling round Bxy and his box of pirated CDs :-))
