Huh?! What lobby? Just what am I paying for any way? Other than to compensate the artists for royalties "lost" by transferring music to CDs from casettes instead of buying the same album twice and other legal uses, I mean. I can understand such a system has maintenance costs and what-have-you, but surely the government/bureacracy hasn't kept all of it? Sheesh, and here I thought I was doing something right, the artists were getting paid fairly whenever I bought blank discs & tapes.
