Equating a levy to the retail price...I'm sorry. Equating a levy to the retail price is wrong. I can choose not to pay the retail price and forgo the product. That choice is specific to the product, as it should be, whereas a levy on media, etc, applies to any number of products. That is a cash grab plain and simple. It can apply to any use, past or present. If a levy is supposed to increase the price of a product it should be included in the price of that product. Claiming otherwise is purely dishonest.<br /><br />I would have made this comment on the article directly but, what do you know, they aren't accepting them.
