Comment Re:What about copying data files? (Score 1) 248
Data files are an issue but lets look at the complications of taxing only one type of format: cd audio.
Given that there is a levy of up to 10 cents for copying a presumably audio cd, what happens when we start downloading and copying cds full of a compressed audio format.
Do they then split the 10 cents by the 10 record labels that may be represented on the disc,
There are always loopholes.
