$0.77 CDN for a blank CD

Wow. And free after rebate here. Maybe the cigarette smugglers will branch out to blank CD's.

A small levy on storage media, say a penny a megabyte, would be more lucrative than trying to extract 60 million dollars from a music obsessed, file sharing, thirteen year-old.

A penny a megabyte = $6 for a blank CD, about $50 for a blank DVD.

I'm not sure what is the answer, but taxing people for media they use to back up legally purchased software can't be the way. Neither can suing people chosen almost at random. If that's the best the RIAA can do, I'm rooting for the teenagers.

I am at my University right now, just about to attend classes and I heard a bunch of girls cheering over file-sharing and bragging about not going to get caught.
