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. 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.
