Unfortunately, you are not paying for piracy. You are paying for private copies made for backup purposes or media-shifting (for example, when you rip your original CD to play it in your MPx).
Some time ago they tried to pass a similar law in Argentina.
I find it difficult to understand why anybody should pay multiple times for the same content. As usual, those willing to pay are the most abused.
Thatīs why I donīt feel sorry for the money they lose as a result of piracy. They are getting what they deserve.
