The levy has been around for at least a years already, it's simply expanding in 2003. IIRC, the current levy on CD-Rs is in the neighborhood of $0.20 CDN or so, and will be going up to $0.59 CDN. You may want to take a look at http://www.ccfda.ca/ for a little more information.What really burns me is that Ottawa expects me to obey and honor our laws and our constitution, yet they introduce legislation that is in direct conflict with our constitution which guarantees that I can not be held responsible for someone else's action. Yet here they are penalizing me for crimes commited by others. Its a good life if we don't weaken :)
I've already shipped letters off to my political representatives (maybe I should try the local papers as well... I haven't noticed any coverage of this in them).
I've never been the biggest buyer of music CDs, but I've decided not to purchase those few that I might have, due to this levy increase. In any case, I'll be stocking up on some CD-RWs (I've got lots of CD-Rs left) before the year is up.
