lol at that does that also apply to other things?
 
Lucky for me the music I copy does not originate from RiSA and therefor is not bound they their boundaries.
 
Both the Recording Industry of South Africa (RiSA) and Michalson say that people shouldn't be too worried about making personal copies for private use of music they already own licenses to.

So why can't they get rid of the silly DRM nonsense for legally bought mp3s then? It is a pain in the butt. (...like that stops people from copying and illegally selling it)
 
RiSA = clowns

they're trying to fit into a modern society that's moving far too fast for them to keep up.

I think you're missing a few things :whistle:

It may be that what most people mean when they ask the size of the Internet is how many bytes it takes up. Estimating that is a fairly difficult task, but one person made an estimate not so long ago who can probably be trusted to have a good idea. Eric Schmidt, the CEO of Google, the world’s largest index of the Internet, estimated the size at roughly 5 million terabytes of data. That’s over 5 billion gigabytes of data, or 5 trillion megabytes. Schmidt further noted that in its seven years of operations, Google has indexed roughly 200 terabytes of that, or .004% of the total size.
