   Assuming you're in Canada, that's what the surtax on blank tapes, blank   
   CDs, and blank DVDs is for.  (I can't understand why the USA hasn't put   
   a similar system into place.  ASCAP doesn't have anywhere near the   
   public relations problems that the RIAA does, and they're getting their   
   money.)
