Decree tax everything from hard drives larger the small memory card
'Compensation for private copying. " Few words are throwing panic fans of computer science and beyond. Yes, because a decree of the Decree of the Minister for Arts and Culture Sandro Bondi, dated December 30, introduce a de facto tax on all storage media: hard disk, computer, memory cards, USB keys, but also mobile phones and smartphones, including cards used in cameras.
The purpose of the new standard is to provide compensation to equalize the losses SIAE copyright of artists caused by software piracy. Too bad that the rule affects everyone indiscriminately, pirates and pirates, private citizens and companies (there is a tax on every new computer, plus if there is also a writer), obviously apart from the use of digital media that a can do.
Here the decree, on the ministry
But most traders worried about the novelty, in the past have experienced the effects of the charge introduced in Italy on blank CDs and DVDs. Customers had not digested, and rather than pay over a euro for a DVD bought in Italy have turned in many - perhaps with a group purchasing - a foreign shops that sell on the Internet, where the same object costs even 75 % less.
The predicted increase ranging from 0.27 € for a CD, to 0.41 for a DVD. Then things get complicated, because it depends on the capacity of the media and from their destination, ranging from a few to a few tens €. Hard disks with each passing day they become available with capacities always higher, ranging from 0.25 to 0.41 euro per 25 Gb, which for a 2 TB disk results in a substantial outlay.
Here you can find a detailed study of how prices will change
Now traders fear that the same thing happen again for hard drives and memory: for the price continues to fall media such as hard disks, the charge made may also pushing up the price by 20-30%.
The information technology sector is protesting, fearing repercussions on sales that could be heavy in Italy, thanks to the crisis. On the internet there is turmoil and there are already petitions to sign to say "no" to the surcharge. The decree is already signed, and the entry into force lacks only publication in the Official Gazette.
