In the US I believe they only charge this on Music CD-R's for audio
CD record decks. If I want to duplicate the CD's I write on my CD
recorder, I have to use a computer CD-R drive because of the SCMS
system.

Now, would I rather have cheaper CD-R's or prescription drugs?
I don't know about that one. (A popular topic in the US is buying
cheaper (often US made) prescription drugs in Canada.)
