A proposed levy on digital music players that became known this summer as the "iPod tax" has been struck down after opponents argued it was unfair to Canadians. The Federal Court of Appeal has ruled that the Canadian Copyright Board did not have the right to put levies on new digital music players when it announced such fees would be allowed starting this year. The board wanted to place a charge of between $5 and $75 on each new device, depending on the number of songs it could hold. (Globe and Mail)
