Canada charges a piracy tax on ALLL HARD DRIVES AND STORAGE MEDIA.

It's not piracy, we already paid!

> Canada's current private copying levies are as follows: $0.29 per unit for CD-R, CD-RW, CD-R Audio, CD-RW Audio disks [0]

The Canadian government does not. You likely haven't paid the tax in the last decade, if ever.

Thank you for this correction.

While it changes my understanding of the legal facts, my feelings about piracy remain the same. Funny, that.

Oh they do that garbage in Canada too? I thought i was able to escape it by leaving Italy
