I thought that as well after reading the tarrif: http://www.cb-cda.gc.ca/tariffs/certified/c12052007-b.pdf
But then I checked the price of 100 blank 700MB CDs at memory express: $9.99 At 21 cents per CD, that doesn't add up. It would seem that 700MB CDs aren't considered a medium onto which audio is copied (just like the distinction between desktop hard drives versus mp3 player hard drives,) but I can't find any official explanation. -Mark C.
