Burning a CD or a DVD may be an extraordinary convenience for many, but the very way royalties are calculated before being collected in France may change - and it won't be based on alleged piracy.
There are a number of countries that have implemented a blank media levy on portable media. The idea, when one boils it down, seems simple and straight forward. There are those that record or burn copyrighted material without authorization, therefore copyright holders should have a system of compensation.
In Canada, for instance, royalties collected on CDs are collected by an organization known as the CPCC.
