Canada storage tax!

You can't blame Apple especially since Canada is one of the countries that has proposed a tariff on storage to help the poor old record companies!

The storage levy is gone.

Q. What happens to the taxes I paid on the levy? A. Taxes will be refunded based on the federal and provincial taxes applicable in the province where you reside and in accordance with your proof of purchase. Q. Which iPod qualifies for the refund? A. Any iPod sold in Canada between December 13, 2003, and December 21, 2004. Q. Why has Apple waited from December 2004 until now to make a refund offer? A. In late July 2005, the appeals process over the levy became final and refund of the levies was approved. Q. Why did the levy apply during a one-year timeframe only? A. On December 21, 2004, the Federal Court in Canada declared the levy invalid, so Apple discontinued collecting it at that time. Q. Who is eligible for a refund? A. Canadian end users (not resellers) who purchased an iPod in Canada between December 13, 2003, and December 21, 2004.

At least we don't have stormtroopers raiding the homes of teenagers who download music.

There's no videos. Free or otherwise in ANY international store. iTunes 6 is a joke.
