Canada’s CD Tax

This is why we shouldn’t let America or an industry decide our laws… We should also put a 10c tax on each gallon of gas which goes to what remains of the stagecoach industry.

Wow, they’re seriously taxing transmission media because someone *could* use it to copy a CD? Ridiculous!
:( it makes my heart cry.
That’s why it costs twice as much to buy blank CDs as it does DVDs. That’s also why I order my blank CDs off ebay when I need them for DJing. I pay for my music, on beatport.com, and see no reason to pay a tax that assumes I’m pirating Canadian artist’s music. The money goes to SOCAN as far as I know, who then provides a percentage to registered Canadian artists.
