O.P. Internet surcharges for music downloads?
There was just an article on the news hereon TV, about a suggestion about adding a $5 surcharge on all high speed Internet bills in Canada that would be profiting the recording industry. And the up-side? The ability to download share music files online, legally.

Now, this is just an idea that was presented to the government by the recording industry, but I thought it would be interesting to hear what others have to say. Personally, I wouldn't mind it. I know that most of the members on here probably don't pay their own bills yet, but still, give your thoughts.

The other side of the coin here is that the fee would be mandatory, even for people who do not download music files.

EDIT: found the article for it online. Most of the readers don't seem to like it though.
