POPSPiracy profits linked to terrorism Therefore if you have any pirated stuff, you can be arrested as a terror suspect. Just the thing to open a few more doors ( and the companies are paying for this service too)

POPSCanadians soon to pay taxes on legal music downloads Yes.. so let's punish the people who are legally downloading our content.. that'll make them want to continue to do so... You know what? Forget it. I'm going back to pirating my music. I've been paying for Napster pretty much since it was avaialbe in Canada as a legal service. And yes, the tax would only amount to a few cents a month, but that's not the point. Your punishing me, your loyal client. And that excuse about Oh, i may make a copy fo rmy {device anme}. Is BS. I PAY EXTRA ALREADY to legally copy these tunes to my mp3 players..($15/moth for the to-go service as opposed to $10/month). FUCK YOU RECORDING INDUSTRY! You won't get another cent from me until you smarten the fuck up. And I thought will all the big labels starting to switch to DRM-Free, that you might have gotten a clue... The funny thing is that apparently CRIA (our version of RIAA) may have been in opposition to this tax...

POPS$1.50 DVD's Big Deal. This movie has already made the rounds from theatre to dvd and pay per view. I watched this movie for $2.00 myself. If i am going to buy bootleg from China, I know I am getting a movie before it even hits the theatre. Besides, with bit-torrent and all the trading that goes on, you can just download any movie or TV show you want anyways. My daughter buys bootleg in the ghetto here, still warm straight from the movie theatre. I of course called the FBI right away. Bottom Line: Crappy Movies in a Crappy Box. You still get what you pay for.
