Taxis also have to pay if they play music from the radio when they have a customer in the cab.

really?

Did I mention that a tax on hard drives was in the works a while ago too? Don't know of the current situation, but I think it was scrapped. I hope.

What's happening with the hard discs? There was some talk a while ago there should be an extra fee on those too, since you can store illegal copies of songs and films on them...

Why don't they start to tax concrete and metal structures too? They can carry the sound waves for long distances, even to the audiences not meant to be...

Lol! So people living multi-storey buildings, row houses or near lakes would have to pay an extra tax on a pollutant pays -principle!
Yes, Teosto is even more effective than the Mafia. Teosto can make people pay three times for the same album. First a radiostation buys it from a shop and pays a tax for it, then the radiostation pays a tax again for playing the disc and broadcasting it on air and finally a customer pays extra for hearing the broadcasted music in a taxi!

This just shows the whole industry if full of rotten apples.

**Pekka** · January 30, 2003, 10:23

WHY is none of our precious 'politicians' even wondering what Teosto is doing? NO ONE IS DOING ANYTHING ABOUT IT! This is a clear message to the mob that Teosto is.. and it's 'go ahead, rob everyone, we don't care'. Time to really think about what should be done with these criminals. We, the people must stand up to these disgusting corporate people now. Taxis are WAY too expensive even now.. I took a cab, 7 kilometer ride (about 4 miles?), cost me 15 euros! I'm telling you if we don't stop this communist thing happening here, we're all going to be sorry some day. Personally, I'm moving out of here, but when the revolution starts, PM me and I'll pick up arms too

I can bet Finnish RIAA CEO would charge his mother for listening the music in his own car on the way taking her in for Christmas

*yes mum this was 7 songs, at the rate 1.30$ but I will pay for you it's christmas

**Jaakko** · January 30, 2003, 11:11

I wonder when Teosto thugs will start going around kneecapping people...

**Pekka** · January 30, 2003, 11:13
