[pp.int.general] Fwd: stance on fairsharing / culture flatrate /levys

[Marvin Kauw]

By sharing media the media already gets free publicity, the movie/music 
industry also wants levies as a compensation for downloaders.
I think they should be really grateful for that publicity and stop the 
levies.

What do you think about the free publicity?
