It's particularly topical because of the recent RMS speech. We didn't

This is a major piss off for me. I am a serious protographer and use 4 gig memory cards. They want to tax them under this proposal.
   
  I use dozens of DVDs and CDs to store and distribute my photographs. Making me pay a tax on media is wrong.
   
  When people believe that a law is wrong, they are likely to break it. Motivating people to break a law is never a good thing.
