UK.gov makes total pig's ear of attempt to legalise home CD ripping

internet traffic royalties

Back in the day, there was a surcharge on CDs, which covered royalties and allowed copying audio CDs. There is always a reasonable way to make everyone happy. Maybe content makers get some royalty payment from overall internet traffic paid by ISPs and added as a surcharge to all internet users. This will pave the way for future increases in online content consumption.
