He stated that 70% of CD-Rs sold are used to copy music, which means that according to even the tariff’s defenders nearly one-third of the cost of the tariff would be on innocent third parties. 12:44:54 AM     There was protest march of Palestinians in Toronto down Bay Street presumably on the way to the US Consulate on University Avenue.
