Ethical music download service

grintricha

Hi, do any of the music download services pay corporation tax? i see even sainsburys are based off shore.

I'm happy to pay a little more if the service has a reputation for honesty, rather than the screw everyone else corporate monoliths of amazon and apple.

Or am i misguided to think this sort of thing exists? And should I just accept the Thatcherite dream of a rampant out of control free market where the little, honest guy gets stamped on?

Check your facts - both Tesco & Sainsburys are UK companies who do pay taxes here - several hundred million pounds each

Tesco corporate tax structure outlined on Wikipedia:

More damning is UK Uncut's view:
