[M4IF Discuss] Canadian recordable media levy

[retiarius laboratories]

Proposed for up to $21/GB for MP3 player storage,
($2.27 for DVD-R media) this makes MP4 use fees
look tame.  Acknowledging that comparisons are
apples-to-oranges (media vs. content), it
nonetheless provides perspective.
See Slashdot for active discussion, or

for the source.  The tariff is hiked from an
existing $0.21 for CD-R/RW ($0.77 for CD-R audio) --
figures are in Canadian dollars.
