250% Intelectual Property tax

Guess what happens in Spain when you go to a computer shop and you pay an unfair, and I would dare to say, illegal tax?

You get a few blank CDs for a little extra charge!! Check this out:

By the way, I don't know whether you have though of it, but this twisted tax has helped to increase the black market quite a lot: Many shops declare just a little fraction of the CD/DVDs that they import, and therefore they pay this tax only for the declared quantity, but they always charge the tax on the media that they sell.. otherwise, they would not support the abuse.

A unfair tax collected by an association is a damn bad thing; but when the tax is more than 250% of the price of the item it becomes insulting. Someone should stop this intellectual property madness right away.

No me lo puedo creer, hay que ser ladrones (los que hicieron la ley) para que te cobren 2 oros y medio de mas por comprar CDs virgenes.. Y que saben ellos del destino final de dichos discos??

La proxima vez, hazte un pedido en Nierle.com con un par de amigos y olvidate de esto...
