So, Collins, how much are you paying for your downloads?
I pay $0.00.  Multiply that by 5% (0.00 x .05) and I get a whopping
$0.00 I owe in tax. Even if you pay a little for a music download, so
what?  I haven't heard you complain about the tax when you go shopping
downtown.  No big deal.  Governments everywhere need their tax.  Ask
Bill Gates.  M$ taxes you on _every_ system you buy from an OEM like
Dell, etc., whether you buy it with M$ installed or not.  Complain
about that.  That at least is illegal (per-CPU licensing agreements).

Ciao,
