I will never buy another pre-recorded CD.

It's interesting that you should mention this... in fact the media tax is already there. The tax was brought in on cassette tapes in the 1980's and on cd in the year 2000.
I am glad that you mentioned this point.. I had forgotten all about it. AND I AGREE COMPLETELY that it is a download fee as far as I am concerned.
