Some countries in Europe decided that it was impossible to stop piracy. Instead they added a fee to storage devices, like disks and USB drives, that is supposed to compensate for the lost revenue. I don't remember where that money goes, but probably to big media companies?
- Ekaros 3y agoIt is not about piracy, but making copies for personal and family use. Like ripping cds and dvds. Or recording material on home video system.
