You and some other commenters miss the point completely.
Now the "rights holders" will have right to tax every storage medium you buy. n% of what you pay for your HDD goes to them.
(And I don't know who is that, since everybody I lisen to won't get a cent)
So I'm going to go and delete 90% of my mp3s and go and purchase a CD player this afternoon.
Actually nope, I'm going to continue to steal all my music out of a combination of apathy and disdain for the system.
Oh and continue to go to the odd gig.
