Well the size of the industry can't be the reason.  Worldwide there was 
20x - 30x more spent on software than on music.

I guess the music industry just got their act together as a group to protect 
their interests and managed to convince lots of governments to their way of 
thinking.

Actually lots of big industries manage to get special treatment from the 
government, cigarette manufacturers, car manufacturers etc, so I guess the 
software industry is just the odd one out.  Maybe MS and Adobe etc should 
get together and get some taxes on DVD-Rs to be shared out?
