Evil is as evil does -- the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.

SABAM is the Belgian collecting society for music royalties,
:mad:
...In the past, SABAM has sought to require Internet and hosting service providers to install filters that would prevent the illegal downloading of files. They lost that battle.
Then, they wanted social networking companies to install monitoring, filtering or blocking systems to prevent illegal trading of digital music and other copyrighted material. They lost that battle. Don’t expect those setbacks to make them back down in their quest to display a stunning amount of stupidity to the world, though.
If you questioned the sanity of the folks over at SABAM before, now I hope you’ll realize just how plain evil they really are.
This morning, word got out in Belgian media that SABAM is spending time and resources to contact local libraries across the nation, warning them that they will start charging fees because the libraries engage volunteers to read books to kids.
Volunteers. Who – again – READ BOOKS TO KIDS.
