There is also a proposed increase in the tax on blank CDs. Those of us who use them for back up and/or storage of data, particularly digital photos are being considered guilty of music piracy and being required to pay a tax or fine. I am not impressed.. .I don't see why, having honestly bought a recording I am not allowed to make a back up in another format for my private use. EG. putting my vinyl onto CD or Mini Disc for archive purposes.. .The music industry may have a problem but this is too wide a brush to address the problem.
