I understand what you're saying about being paid for the sweat you put out in a hard day work. However, it is flawed by the simple fact that every company/employer out there will try to find ways to make your pay less and mostly when you work overtime for time and half and double time. My work place will deduct Dinner (hour) and lunch 30 minutes. Sometimes 2 lunches in a day so you lose out on 2 hours of pay if you work a 14-18 hour shift. So you get paid for 16 hours.

As you said, it is perfectly alright to demand a fair pay for a day work. You and everyone else, will never get the proper pay for a day work. Regardless how you look at it, you get ripped off but you can't sue or charge your work place for failing to pay you properly. All because your work place wants to save $$. :P

Now as for the music and movie industry. They don't demand you pay them. They dictate it and enforce the fact that you have to pay only them for a movie or music. If you don't, you get arrested, charged for a thousand different things and they expect you to pay a 150,000 dollar fine in the end. I am sure everyone remembers the 12 year old girl in New York who got charged and sued over downloading one song that she paid 99 cents for.

As a consumer I have no problems paying for music or movies. I have a mere 50 Blu-Rays and 90 DVDs. These laws or acts (Which will become law later on) make me wonder why I throw money at them, only to have them turn around and use that money to aggresively arrest and charge people around the world.

I totally agree with the Black March thing. I live in Canada and for the month of March. I will not buy a music CD or a movie. I usually buy 2 Blu-Ray movies a month. I hope many around the world do the same thing. Why support a corrupt industry full of greed?
