Did they offer to give back blank media tarriff?
In Canada, you have to pay a tax on all blank media, including
cds and hard drives (which makes things like the iPod more
expensive there). That tax goes directly to the Canadian record
labels to compensate them for the fair use rights of Canadian
citizens.

It's funny, I see the labels trying to take away those rights, but
nowhere do I see them offering to return the money that they're
paid for allowing citizens to exercise those rights.
