Soon to become more expensive.

The essential tools of pirates: blank CDs, blank DVDs, external hard drives, and other copy-related technology, are about to get more expensive in Slovenia. The government has announced that starting this Saturday, all of these things will include a “compensation” fee based on things like the amount of recording time, or number of megabytes, a device can hold.

Although the extra expenses can be circumvented by shopping outside of Slovenia, it still seems like a much better solution than the ongoing “sue-em-all” campaign happening in the United States. I guess we’ll see how it pans out.

And, of course, if you need any of the stuff on this list — it might be a good idea to go pick it up today or tomorrow.
