Last Week, ZeroPaid reported on comments made by Bill Patry which suggests that the copyright industry is looking to make money off of private copying. It seems that he isn't alone on these concerns as the Open Rights Group told ZeroPaid that they agree with the concerns he expressed.
The posting by Patry suggests that the Music Business Group (MBG) is saying how a copy made by a customer who legitimately bought music is added value for the customer and value lost for the music industry. The theory known as the 'reverse value' theory appears to be headed into the direction of demanding royalties for format shifting, etc.
We here at ZeroPaid decided to ask Becky Hogge about all of this.
