CD pirates in from the cold

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".
