Big Chet Baker fan. Too bad about the heroin. I guess whoever his estate is should look forward to a big pay day.

This is the same recording industry that strong armed the Canadian government into putting a tax on blank CDs on the basis that they are being used for piracy.

“At 29 cents per disc, the tax on a 50 spindle package of CD-R or CD-RW discs is now $13.50 and constitutes a major percentage of the cost of CDs.”

“The levy on CD’s originally began in 1998 and the levy per recordable CD was initially set at 5.2 cents. At the time CD-R discs were often several dollars per disc so the levy represented only a small percentage of the products overall cost.”
