On a side note:
Years ago when CD burners were just becoming available I worked for a company where we wanted to archive radio commercials on CD's. At that time - blank CD's were $13 each.
I called around trying to find a better price and asking sellers why they were so expensive. One guy told me that almost a whole dollar of the $13 was a special tax that was placed on blank CD's to help rebate the music industry in advance of piracy. They got a special tax placed on blank CD's, DVD's, cassette tapes and VHS and Beta tapes to offset their losses.
If you have ever bought blank media - you have already paid taxes for piracy.
At this point - I no longer cared if anyone pirates music. I've already paid the tax's in advance for you.
