This, and more. Although, AFAIR Philips actually marketed the standalone "audio CD-copy" machine where you had (?) to use special "raw audio CDs" and these cost more... so you cannot blame them for not cashing in :-)

And even better... you can get the blank cd's and dvd's from
the same company who sells you the 'original' one.

Yes :-)

Another nice trick is that here in .nl one pays a 'tax'
that is going to the audio-rights whatever organisation.
Thus you are actually paying the rights for the possible
things you are recording on to it. I wonder though where
that money goes as I never saw a euro back for all the
picture discs, backups of my own creations etc.

Yepp. It's just that: a kind of tax. Exists here as well. You even have to pay it for eg CF crds or memory sticks.
