AUSTRALIA plans to endorse CD-copying kiosks in a controversial
world-first plan that legalises music piracy.
The Australian Mechanical Copyright Owners Society will allow an
Adelaide-based business to operate CD-pirating kiosks nationwide
for a modest royalty payment.
The coin-operated kiosks could open in shopping malls, supermarkets
or record stores from September and charge $5 ($2.85 USD) for each
CD "burn".
