Only digital media intended to record performances on consumer equipment have the tax. Let me make myself informative:
Blank audio and video cassettes do not have the tax because they are analog, and analog copying loses a generation.
Blank CD-R media with "MB" instead of "minutes" on the label is incompatible with consumer audio equipment ("minutes" CD-R media has special codes) and does not have the tax.
DAT no longer has the tax because they don't make audio DAT anymore (DAT is mostly used to back up hard drives); MiniDisc (which is taxed) filled in that gap long ago.
MP3.com buys the CDs it rips. The user "copies" the CD (fair use, 17 USC 107) to an account using the Beam-it client, and MP3.com simply retrieves the copy. And most artists still get less than one percent of MSRP on each CD.
No. My last record player broke ten years ago. Now do they make affordable record players anymore (other than the ultra-expensive ones intended for audiophiles)?
If, instead, the artists sign with AMP3.com, then they get paid 5 per download because of a short ad the AMP3 server inserts at the beginning of the song. Just downloading two singles would be the same as the artists' dime.
On MP3.com, artists can (through the Digital Automatic Music system) sell CDs and get half of the CD revenue as royalties.
