Actually I was talking about the inkjet printers that print directly on the cd's, no labels needed, just the all white cd's that are readily available and cheap. |
Oh, I get you. I doubt I'll go that way though. It's only 20-30 for the lightscribe feature.
If I do get a new printer it would be a color laser. Seeing they are get affordable at the consumer level. I'm tired of inkets. I don't print my photos out anymore. If I do I'll take them somewhere and pay 20 cents a print. They'll do a much better job. |

LoL, i used to use Kazza but they closed, sounds like it's a software downloading company from the middle east (all mp3's donated by Sadam & Friends). Be the first to download 1,000 songs and win a free AK???

I don't know if this is true, but I have heard in Canada you can copy music legally. We pay up front for "stealing". When we buy a CD blank or hard drive. There is a charge built into the medium for piracy. The money goes directly to the recording industry.
Yah... that was my 300th post |

That's true. There is a tax on MP3 players, burnable CDs, CD-burners, and some other stuff too. I don't know if it's on actual hard drives, but I could be wrong. The fee was $.21 per Gb in 2001. Proposed to $.59 in 2003, but I couldn't find if it went into effect.
The USA also has the Audio Home Recording Act of 1992. This act levies a 2% tax on "digital audio recording devices." I would think this would include computers and CD-burners, but who knows. The act isn't very specific (this is always BAD).
