tax on empty CD-recordables

[Rik van Riel <riel@humbolt.geo.uu.nl>]

Hi,

In yet another brainless move, the Dutch government has
decided to put a tax on empty CD-Rs because they could
be used to copy copyrighted materials.

In practice, this will mean that the Buma/Stemra (the
copyright holders' association) will receive money
whenever we copy a Linux CD. That money will dissapear
in the pockets of copyright holders -- exactly the
people we want to avoid by using free software!

Please take a few seconds and fill in the form at
