And back in the early 90s the federal government proposed a Blank Tape Levy that was possessed by ARIA and was subsequently quashed by the High Court because it got implemented as a Tax and not a Levy . ARIA made sure that the legislation was never proposed again .I have no sympathy for ARIA who where asked if they wanted to participate in the revised tape levy legislation and they could be receiving revenue from all blank media now and MP3 players and possibly a levy on internet connections but they stupidly chose not to.
