So if I've paid $21/GB, does that mean I'm within my rights (*) to rip *any* CD I like and stick it on my player.

You'd think that, wouldn't you?

That's exactly the situation here in the US. We, as consumers, already pay a tariff to the RIAA on digital audio recording devices and media. And you'd think that'd shut them up about home copying. In fact, the whole point about the AHRA and the tariff was to shut them up. But it hasn't, has it? 

GO FIGURE.

(What I'm saying is that this tariff will only line pockets, it won't solve anything and it won't shut anyone up.)
