[Sussex] This is appalling... Dutch Pass iPod Tax

[Paul Turner]

Just read this on slashdot:

An anonymous reader writes /"The Register is reporting that in a few 
short months a proposal to tax all MP3 players in the Netherlands will 
become law
http://www.theregister.co.uk/2005/04/27/netherlands_ipod_tax/

The levy taxes 3.28 euros ($4.30 US) for every gigabyte of capacity. This 
means a 60GB iPod Photo will be hit for an additional 196 euros ($258), 
all of it going to the record industry's copyright collection agencies. 
And they call file sharers thieves?"
