I've already paid my kickback when I bought my CD-Rs

They have already collected their kickback from the sale of the CD-R that Can but not Necessarily be used to burn that downloaded music/etc. All CD-Rs sold carry a surcharge that goes to the RIAA (or some other Music Mafia organization) to supposedly "compensate" them for my ability to use the CD-R to store music (or Rip a commercial CD-ROM). The fact that not every CD-R is used for this purpose (I use them a King-Sized Floppies to store my Computer Files) does not mean that only usage for Music is being charged for.

This is untrue. Only CDs labeled Audio CDs carry the surcharge. Data CDs do not. (This is despite the fact that you can copy an Audio CD onto a Data CD.)
