(I consciously decided to post this thread in English. My (many) German followers will understand the content and arguments of the thread. But my experience tells me that this thread in German would quickly devolve in weird „yes, but” fringe arguments and name calling. „You are not a lawyer“ etc. I don’t need that today :) 7/7
@jwildeboer Great thread! A related question is whether the current level of compensation through levies (e.g. storage media covered, now including mobile phones, and amount per medium) is appropriate when today there is very little copyrighted content which can actually be copied for private use? (mainly due to streaming services replacing distribution on physical media).
You also have to pay for printers or fax machines, which are barely used for texts of members of third persons, that are members of VG Wort.
