Ugh...

21 cents tax per CD? That's like half of what they cost. If I lived in Canada, I'd have visiting friends smuggle some in from the states...
|
And if a single CD only cost 42 cents, then I'd have visiting firnds smuggle some in from Canada. :rolleyes:
I think it's quite an amusing tax. The folks who asked for it are probably hoping it will bring them more money, and protect their music, but it's just going to turn more Canadians towards illegal downloading. |
We're talking about blank CDs, here, just so we're clear.

I was reading this and just had to add my 2 cents... heh heh...
Anyways. That sounds very stupid. Charge the people who actually buy the music, to cover the cost of the people who steal it? That's just retarded! Jeezus... the Canadians must have a Bush leading them... I hope to god America doesn't follow suit. You would think they would put internet slueths on the case for finding IP addresses of people who host the free download sites or something. Why do all the people who lead an honest life suffer for that kind of shit? |
