Re: i wait close. The "music CDR" disks have a small royalty built into the price. If you have a stand-alone recorder that hooks into your stereo music system, it has music industry-mandated hardware controls that require you to use one of the above specially encoded music CDR blanks; a standard data CDR/RW disk won't record. Thus, the music industry continues to get royalties when you rip your own using a music recorder. That's also why a cakebox of "music" disks costs more than a box of generic (or even name-brand) data disks.
However, standard data disks don't have the royalty and computer-based recorders are not locked to royalty-encumbered media. Thus, people who use computers rather than the living room stereo to manage their music collections are not supporting the **AAs. Hence the need to "get all those pirating bastards" with their computers.
