[pp.int.general] Court Decision - Equitable Remuneration

[Richard Stallman]

    Perhaps, if flat rate replace copyright monopoly, probably is more useful
    use the money to support cultural programs in general than copyright
    industry. If copyright run together this new tax, I don't know a reason to
    support this tax.

The idea is that one new law would legalize file sharing (including on
the Internet) and establish this new tax.

     So, I think is priority in Brazil, first,
    the decriminalization of copyright infringement, not impose a new tax to
    people.

The idea is that the new tax makes possible the decriminalization (and
legalization) of sharing copies.  Thus, sharing would no longer be
infringement.
