“iPod Tax” smacked down in Canada

An attempt to push through significant levies on digital music players (up to CAN$75 per device) has been quashed by Canada’s Federal Court of Appeal. Innovators and consumers rejoice.

This is good news … and as someone who has spent 5 figures on a music collection over the last 20 years (DJ period in my life) I find it ludicrous to be arbitrarily taxed for something that presumes my guilt!
