1. 50p on top of around £200 won't really matter - in fact it probably will get partly absorbed anyway through the retail process.
However, I agree it is unfair - why should everyone be punished when a better system can't be found?
Regulatory bodies need to listen to consumers' needs; there's a genuine need to make legal, cheap DRM-free downloads available. I know this open them up for P2P sharing, but the problem is there and they need to solve it.

2. It's 50p *now*. Once the principle has been established, raising that number will become a major objective of the companies concerned.
Why stop with the TV and music businesses?
