The US has a similar tax levied on recordable media, audio DAT, MiniDiscs
and "audio" CD-R. Data CD-R does not have this tax because they are used
for data storage; I believe the same holds for data DAT. Note: home CD-R
decks cannot use data CD-R media. The identifying signature on audio CD-R
is different from data CD-R and the decks refuse to use anything but audio
type discs.
