The Copyright Board is now indicating that this thing might not be
implemented Jan 1 as planned. Seems that they've received thousands of
letters of protest (compared to the usual 20 or 30). There are also several
large blank media manufacturers fighting the tariff.

I wouldn't say that the above is 100%. Many of the 'reliable sources' are
still on holidays. Wait and see, I guess.
