Oh it sounded like you were arguing *for* some extra privileges for the
software industry (being a software developer yourself IIRC).
BTW why is it unfair? Governments are obviously open to industry groups
requesting special treatment, especially when large amounts of money are
involved, so why is it unfair to any particular group?
The software industry generates far more income than the music one, so I
would imagine they would have quite a good bargaining position with
governments on lots of subjects. It's not unfair just because they have
been ignorant of this fact so far.
