Protest! Auvibel taxes killing indie artists!

Open Letter to Minister Van Quickenborne; regarding the growing digital market with glowing possibilities towards a growing culture of indie artists and the ever limiting Auvibel tax getting real on 1 february 2010. All external hdd’s, memory cards, usb sticks, settop boxes and mp3/mp4 players will be taxed with extra by Auvibel; even if used only for own materials. This tax is to support the artist, while the common artist, not connected to a collection-rights agency will get nothing.
