It was my understanding that we still have this with the CD-R Music
CD's often selling for a higher price. I do not think that they are
superior media, just have a tax attached to them for the RIAA.
By the way the MPAA (I hope I got the initials correct) said the very
same things about the Video cassette recorder when it came out.

I think that there are two components to this issue. One
component is whether or not the RIAA is actually going to go after
folks who make for themselves a "fair use" copy of a legally obtained
CD. The other component is the apparent view taken by RIAA that even
a personal copy is a violation. It seems to be boiling down to
whether or not RIAA is going to initiate legal actions based upon its
beliefs about copyright violations. I think that history has
demonstrated that RIAA is quite obtuse about what constitutes a
copyright violation. Years ago, they even wanted a "tax" placed upon
blank cassette sales, and for that "tax" to be paid to them as
compensation for the 'piracy' that they said would be taking place
because of cassette technology.
