Stichting De Thuiskopie sells blanco disks!

PC-Active magazine writes about this unbelievable scandal in their magazine:

The Dutch Institution for Hometaping (*) seems to be selling blank CDs and DVDs to salesmen. This institution is part of the Ministry of Finance in The Netherlands and is NOT allowed to sell the goods they have taken. So the Dutch minister Donner is asked to clear this up.

Isn’t that sick?

* = An institution which believes CDs and DVDs are only used for hometaping and not for burning you own creative work. So they add a few percent on top of the CD and DVD prices to compensate for the ‘loss’ of their artists.
