I don't know in what kind of a f**ked up world we're living in.
Music in Taxis most certainly does more adverts for the music then hindering
the selling...
I've even heard that shops pay tax for music too (although I don't know if
this is true).
I'm pursuaded it's a disease with a weird name like "Occidental Unineuron
Syndrome" ;)
I'm wondering more and more why I don't go buy myself an Island somewhere
unknown and raise sheep.
Far far away from all this madness cause I'm afraid one day I'll get
contaminated by OUS :-o
And the day I'm contaminated with OUS I might, lets say, sue my parents for
my nose not being straight.
A carbon based life form.

That ruling is not only stupid on general principle, but it's got to be
next to unenforceable. I doubt the Finnish police will want to waste their
time going on undercover cab rides to ensure taxi drivers are paying their
royalties.

Wow. What the hell is going on in this world nowadays? Paying royalties for playing the damn radio? Paying royalties for playing a christmas hymn? That's f____ed up. I guess cover bands must be having severe problems in Finland, if they're even allowed to exist...
