Canada drops MP3 fee

Canada's Federal Court of Appeal has ruled against a law which imposes a special copyright levy on every digital audio player sold there. The decision should lower the cost of MP3 players,
where levies were as much as $25 (Canadian) on a $400 iPod.  But some, like the Canadian Private Copying Collective consultant quoted in this article, won't roll over and are now arguing that overturning the levy means it's no longer legal to rip music from CDs and then copy it to MP3 players because doing so no longer meets the criteria set out in the Copyright Act for legitimate private recording.
