Why not impose a 100 yen tax on CD rentals? Most rental shops rent CDs for 100 yen and I have the feeling that 99% of the people that rent them copy them. I don't think 200 yen CD rentals would kill the rental shops but it would provide income to the artists.

You have a feeling, when they ask you if you have blank CDs when you check out I would say make it 100%.

duh, of course it wouldn't work, who would get the money, how would you split it...

Proxy, in that case it would be cheaper to download it, why then bother going Tsutaya.
