i'm very far from anyone involved in briefing the minister or involved in the minister's office on this one, but i'm probably not wrong in assuming that she's working under advice.
and that advice might well be *bad* on some points, especially the child pron aspects russell mentioned in the original post.

Hi-Fi seem to have a grip on the whole customer service deal.
indeed. if i want to see sanctimonious record-store wankers i'll read hi fidelity.
ps. i'm mad, and i'm not going to take it any more.

their imports were unjustifiably expensive
i would go there to sample cds, then buy them online...
</shameful blushing>

they want to be able to issue sheaves of take down notices without having to suffer any consequences.
that's my inexpert reading of what's been sold to the minister. i see "externalising enforcement costs".
and whoever the advisor is who created a link between 'music piracy' and "child pron"? you're an idiot who deserves to lose your job for misleading a member of the Government...

My point really is that if this did happen there would still be music played through radio and other media. I'd assume that the record companies would not die but would move to a more viable business model
frankly, if the current "push" business model that identifies and makes stars out of wankers like vanilla ice or britney spears dies, then the world would actually be a better place.
maybe we'll get more genuinely decent acts like clap your hands say yeah coming through all the noise.

Now I just know that won't be work-safe.

John Key's just said he'll form a "razor gang" to slash bureaucracy
i think he actually said, 'cabinet expenditure control committee' and the papers re-worded it.

but they'd have to find the music, get a decent copy of it, negotiate with each band to ensure they had permission, and compensate directly?
bro.. just knick it off the web, it's easier.

i agree. great and evocative writing. i find myself casting my minds eye back to similar journeys i've made. the trip to drink from the same stream that kept my first new zealand ancestor alive was a memorable one.
but onto water.
i think you can leave water standing in a bucket or container for a few hours and most of the floride evaporates? it's what they recommend for water in fish tanks for example.
that said, i've the feeling that it's the minerals in the italian water that makes the magic, not what we have in ours.

But they never buy discs
there's that generational change mentioned upstream...
