Comment copyright tax in Canada (Score 1) 665
There is a lot more to what people lisen to than just personal tast. Industry in north amarica is so dominated by the money maker system that. That little gets made avaible to us unless the system wants us to have it.
Canadian products music, movies, food etc would never make it to the play list without law to prevent American controled companies and systems from providing only what they want. The content law were put into place as a responce to the exclution of Canadian artist. Because of the American interfirance in other contries internal rights. Both economicaly and militarily I personly don't buy American unless I have no choice or I wish to support the individule producer.
As a result of this policiy I look carfuly at the products I buy. Most of the products and the companies that distribute them in Canada are American. Some of the local produce distributers and Starbucks will not sell local products at all. It is marketed as local but it in fact is not.
The copyright 'tax' is not realy a tax but a leavey that the music industry has forced the government here to put in place. The money is collected and held for more than a year before it is distributed to the entertainers. This distribution is subject to the same discrimination that the placement of music on the play list. The same as the royalites on music.
Who gains? The music distributers not the creaters of the music.
The only way around this is to buy from independent musicions. (Who pay the same levie as the liseners. They are not exempt.)
As for whos music is better. What is good has no real nationalilty. We as the music consumer only get what is made avaible by the American dominated record companies want us to hear. We get what they think they will make money on produced by people that will play there game. Not what is good. They then play it enough so we are lead to believe it is infact good.
In short. What we eat, use for medicince, hear and watch are dictated by the power brockers in the US. The govement in the US has be forced by the industry mogals to restrict what you can hear we can't tell each other that a herb used for thousands of years dose what it dose. Or vitamin C is good for you.
Why dose this all exist? We have lost the power to discriminate. We are not alwed to hear what is good and produced by our nabours. We believe the things that American tv tells us. We are not given the facts to discrimate between products properly. Instead we base our desions on the slicness of the add not the spec sheet.
If we (the masses) had read the lable. Atari would be the domnate system today not Msoft carp.
Take back your power. Buy local from locals. Move out as your needs grow or can't be fulfilled localy. Think gobaly act localy. Avoid nationalism (a medium of keeping us enemies. You and I as individules are not enemies.) Remember all wars are for profit. Who's? Primarialy the banking industry.
The American system is based on profit, primarilay from war. My polictical reason for not buying American. I tend to stay away from British for the same reason. These two goverments like to war together. This is the government that I am refuring to, not the people. We the people are the same no mater what the system that is in place to control us.
The copyright law and most laws of this nature are put into place to protect the profits of the industry not the people. Even though we are lead to believe that it is for our protection. The system of distributiong of money to the creater of the art music, books, gives the lions share to the publisher not the artist. Far beyond the cost of doing business.
