I was able to make a payment by credit card April 19.

It's interesting that both CD and DVD sales have dipped in concert with each other. Since downloading a decent-quality movie is on the order of 1GB in data (very inconvenient given all but the higher connection speeds available), I highly doubt that such a decline could be explained by illegal downloads.

Could the dual trends be multi-causal? Perhaps Netflix is killing DVD sales (is there a Netflix equiv. in Canada?) and legal+illegal downloads/consumer preference shifts can explain CD declines.

I suppose we need more data.

I wasn't able to pay as well. Asked the crew form aomp3 and they told me to be patient :(...

The stock accusation once again: "It's because of illegal downloading". Repeat that until it becomes accepted as the only truth.Try to divert attention away from having an insanely poor product portfolio. (Extremely untalented "artists" etc). Maybe people don't have enough tospend on luxury goods such as discs, perhaps they need food, a house etc. and that eat up a lot of their disposable income.

They are killing themselves this way (trying to delete musical choice, and musical good taste at the same time, hoping to increase sales by selling artists with deeper cleavages. Shallowness prevails, and shall get shoved down your throat when youwalk out on to the street or turn on the television set.

I have no sympathy that their sales are declining, they've made my live miserable by making just about every radio station in the country play the same sh][t. It's not as if I had the choice of not listening to it; My colleagues were so brain washed that they always tuned to one of those horrid stations.

To reach a compromise with the music distribution companies, the Canadian government instituted a levy on MP3 players and recordable media (cassette tapes, writeable CDs, writeable DVDs). Depending on your viewpoint, Canadians are already paying for a) music/video downloading and/or b) the right to do music/video downloading.

That's the so-called "confusion" which is simply recognition of the performance rights fuzziness regarding what you actually purchase when you buy a CD or DVD. If the music is distributed on crappy or obsolete media, does your right to perform music end when the crappy media becomes useless?

The music distribution folks never cleared this up to customers' satisfaction. Now their distribution method (via CD, DVD media) is becoming obsolete and their distribution model is dieing. Fighting electronic data exchange,transfer, and storage is killing their industry.

I'll still buy Canadian imports. I live in a border state, so they pop up from time to time, and vice versa. I got some the other day in Niagara Falls, Ontario last week. Had to show them at Customs going back to my hotel outside Buffalo. Also bought on eon EBay. Sometimes there are major differences, but that's a story for another day.

This is in point form, as if have different messages to put across.

1. Here in Canada, the only place to download music legally (that I know of anyway, and believe me I've been looking) is iTunes and most of there crap is DRM and I refuse to download that sh!t.
It isn't like the US where there are 100s of options to choose from, and if they don't have it than the only place to get it is tpb (thepiratebay.org) or other torrent sites.

2. The music and video industry never take into consideration there crap that they are trying to shove down our ears and into our faces. Sometimes they have a bad year I mean look at "Snakes on a Plane" can anybody find me a person who would recommend that peace of crap to somebody they didn't hate?

3. And what about the (at the time, and now occurring) recession we are in and the rising cost of fuel. Of course luxury spending was down. It was and still is down across the board.

4. As a Canadian; every time I purchase any recordable media including Blank CDs, DVDs, and in the past VHS tapes and Cassettes a percentage of that cost goes to the mpaa, so I am paying money to go to the music industry and movie industry even if I am going to use the CD-R to make a backup of my family photos. Or to send this years Family Christmas DVD to relatives. So to recoup my losses I will download a CD worth of music and a movie.

Does anyone know where I can find free online grant applications ?
I keep hearing the news talk about getting free online grant applications so I have been looking around for the best place to get one.
Thanks for your help!
