Canadian Music Industry Seeks Copy Tax On Memory Cards
An anonymous reader writes "The Canadian music industry's copyright collective is demanding
the creation of a new copying tax on all memory cards sold in
Canada. The Canadian Private Copying Collective has filed for a tax of
up to $3 per memory card to compensate for music copying on SD
cards. If approved, the tax could cost consumers millions of
dollars." Makes no less sense than the current levy exacted on blank CDs and audiotapes in Canada — and no more sense, either.
Take off, eh?!
This will stimulate international trade! US citizens will buy their drugs from Canada and we'll buy our storage media from the US.
