Re: [dvd-discuss] Slashdot article - Canadian Tariffs

I don't think it is a tariff.  Slashdot just mislabeled it.  Rather it is 
a levy.  That being said, how is this justified in light of copy protected 
CDs?  Do recording companies who use copy protection schemes still get 
thier piece of the pie?
