You know, if it would shut the RIAA up for good, I would happily pay a tariff on hard disks. 

Not the huge tariff suggested in the Canadian proposal (that's just ludicrous considering that hard disk prices are getting cheaper per gig... Eventually the tariffs will outweigh the price of the disk 100 to 1, which would be just wrong), but something small, perhaps 1 percent of the purchase price of the disk or player.

But if the AHRA is any indication, it won't shut them up. So it's a moot point.
