We now pay a certain amount, depends on the media, in taxes which go to the Canadian recording industry. They pushed for this originally on cassette tapes because they thought they were losing money to people who record music for there personal use. Now they have found that they have screwed themselves because the measly pennies on a cd are being far outstripped by the loses from people not buying overpriced recorded cd's. It's a case of an industry shooting themselves in the foot. [/QB][/QUOTE]
