Dutch MP3 Tax:

Ouch! The Dutch government has in the works a tax specifically for MP3 players. The price of the tax could be almost $3.23 US per GB. So for a sweet 60GB iPod Photo you would be looking at $193.80 extra!! This initiative is to curb downloading of music from P2P programs, and the internet.

The Netherlands, like Germany, already charges similar levies on DVDs and blank CDs...
