The body which administers the fund has collected about $23 million, but hasn't disbursed a cent. They say it is difficult. Meanwhile, I have to pay a tax to these idiots to backup on CD any files I create for clients, and for version tracking (creating web sites, it is good practise to do a constant CD backup using Retrospect which gives you versioning, or use *nix to do the same thing). The whole thing is corrupt and stupid and just outright theft by the majors. ]]> 2874@blogcritics.org Sun, 19 Jan 2003 15:51:00 EST
