For every piece of recordable media sold in Canada, that includes hard drives, blank tapes, blank cd's EVRYTHING RECORDABLE, the music industry receives a comission. Yep even if you just want to burn your photo's to disk, back-up your college work etc the music industry gets it cut.
If they want Canadians to pay for downloaded music its time they gave that money back or stopped collecting it. Until then Canadians have paid the copyright dues in the form of this blank media levy, even those who dont download music!
