Canadian
buyers of MP3 players to get refund
Globe and Mail - Canada
Canadians who bought an MP3 player last year could be eligible for a
refund of up to $25.
Apple, Sony, and Hewlett-Packard announced this week that they would refund the
"piracy" levy customers paid on their MP3 players, including the iPod, between
December, 2003 and December, 2004, after the Supreme Court of Canada refused
last month to overturn a Federal Court of Appeal decision that rendered the levy
invalid.
"Apple is pleased that the Supreme Court of Canada let stand a lower court
ruling that blank media levies on iPods are invalid, and will shortly announce a
claims process so consumers can request a refund for the levies they paid," the
company said in a press release late Monday.
The company is offering no timeline or information at this time on how users can
get their refunds, but a company spokesman said that information would be made
available soon.
