Canadian Blank CD Levy To Increase By Another 38%
16th December 2008
The levy is a sort of “you’re a criminal tax” that assumes blank CDs are going to be used for unauthorized copying. Blank CDs in Canada are now often more expensive than blank DVDs (which have no levy and hold more data), and most of that cost goes directly to the record industry.
Such corporatism is characteristic of socialist states — like Canada.
