At least Verkkokauppa.com sells “hyvitysmaksu”-free iPod’s, empty CD-R’s and such by direct mail order from their warehouse in Tallinn, Estonia: http://www.verkkokauppa.com/?page=http://www.verkkokauppa.com/main.php?path=suoratoimitukset (in Finnish).

It would be great if these taxes would keep the the entertainment industry happy. But they obviously don’t.

Is there already a “hyvitysmaksu” for mp3 players in Finland? http://www.hyvitysmaksu.fi

I guess there is. At least for the memory cards, because they tax even digital camera’s memory cards.

I have payed to the music industry for taking pictures with my camera!

Copying original music from CDs to MP3 players or iPods is not even a crime even Finland. It’s not even a crime to copy music from Internet to a portable player, assuming that the song is an original one. If it’s a MP3 rip of a CD song, it’s not probably legal, because no record company is offering their music in MP3 format.

Anyway, I agtee these taxes are getting out of hand, and are getting Europe in almost as bad situation as what the DMCA has casued in the U.S. It’s a shame we have to take some much example from the U.S. here in Europe.

I think this just shows how the government is, in the end, just another mafia.

That tax, like the “cassette tax” in Finland, is not justifiable in any legal terms. They tax supposedly because some people copy, that is, commit a crime. Thus, all users are taxed for some people’s crimes. It makes sense only if you assume that the recording industry-government complex is a mafia, extorting protection money.
