Canadian Court Strikes Down Huge MP3 Tax Plan
The tax would have significantly raised the price of MP3 players, cellphones and computers. "The levy, which was slated to be introduced in 2008, would have amounted to an additional $5 to $75 depending on the storage capacity of the recorder." The money would have been paid to copyright holders to "compensate" them for digital file copying. CBC 01/11/08
