[edit] More general "Private copying" article needed?
Just posting to say I thought it felt a bit strange that Private copying (which is linked to from some articles) redirects to this one, about the taxation. While the matters are clearly related, I feel there should be one "Private copying" article dissecting the practice and perhaps various legislation under different jurisdictions, in a broader sense than levies in particular. Questions that could be attempted to be answered could be:
- How does private copying legislation (not levy legislation) look nationally and internationally, and how is it related to fair use laws?
- How does modern technologies affect private copying, and are attempts made to resolve any problems they would imply?
- Any high profile critics/endorsers (companies as well as individuals) to quote on private copying?
- What is being done for and against private copying today?
... and so on, i.e. not merely the case of levies as here and now. One section could be about the levies, with this article listed as the main article. External links could include articles like this one, and there is also a lot of material in that article itself that could give ideas on subjects to cover. I personally feel there seem to clearly be enough material to base a separate article around this.
I understand this might be a matter of "so if you'd like to see that happen, write the missing article!", and I'll perhaps consider that if no one else does and this would be agreed on. If I'd miss out to follow up on this and there's agreement, hopefully I gave some out there some inspiration for content with this comment. :-) -- Northgrove 00:31, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
