Here's a link to the The "Blank CD-R Tax" FAQ, which is a pretty complete FAQ on copyright with regards to CDs in Canada. The short answer is, there's a levy on all media (like CD-Rs, mp3 players, etc), but a provision the law that enacts the levy allows you to make a copy from the original for personal use.
Mad cow, or BSE, primarily infects the nervous system. This means that there is more of the disease found in the brain, the spine, and other sources of nerve tissue. In general, cuts of meat served as steak, roast, etc, have little nervous tissue, and are a very very low risk. Ground meats (as you can't always be sure of the contents) carry more of a risk, but eating the brain of an infected cow should carry the highest risk.
I actually thought the Dune movie (by david lynch??) was a good movie. It didn't deviate from the book a whole lot and did a very good job of creating a "Dune" atmosphere; this made it a credible movie to watch.
