Yeah, but this doesn't sound like that.  It sounds like an additonal
fee based on it being 'digital media'....

Which is dumb.

Why does playing from a CD not have the new license fee, but playing
from an MP3 does... what if it's a CD of MP3s?  Or a burned CD audio
that was once mp3's but now a plain audio "dj mix" disc....  The lines
get all fuzzy and weird from what the BBC has on it.

Public Performance fees I can understand.... but not based on medium.
