TORONTO ? The levy on blank CDs that allows Canadians to make legal copies of music is going up by almost 40 per cent, which only worsens the problem with the tariff, said one copyright expert on Tuesday.

The Private Copying Tariff for this year and next is going up to 29 cents from 21 cents for each CD or MiniDisc, while the rate for audio cassettes remains at 24 cents.

It's the first increase since 2001, but critics argue the levy was already excessive.

A spindle of 50 blank CDs that sells for $35 is marked up by almost a third because of the tariff.

If the Steven Harper crooked Conservatives pass Bill-61 does that mean everyone will get reimbursed the money they payed on levies? Or does this make it harder for them to pass that Bill?

They're all worthless, whatever stripe they happen to be wearing - or switching to.
For myself, the best present would be to wake up Xmas morning to the news that they had all committed mass suicide.

The thread title was very misleading, but I guess that is probably a good thing depending on the content.

This the model in how socialism thinks. It (socialism)works by trying to treat all equally, and does so (it treats everyone equally poorly)

Just my thoughts
