OTTAWA -- The Copyright Board of Canada has approved new taxes on digital MP3 music files - at least for files that are downloaded legally.
The tariffs, to be charged to iTunes and other companies that distribute music over the Internet, adds three cents to the cost of individual songs that now sell for about 99 cents, and 1.5 cents per track for downloaded albums.

Yay, yet another tax with the monies going nowhere. Isn't the fund of money from the blank cd and hdd levy still at a somewhat enormous sum that isn't going back to the artists?

Even better:

And they are retroactive to 1996, when Canada's music industry first began pushing for tariffs on transmitted music files.
