Our friends in New Jersey are about to pay a little more for music on Apple's iTunes starting this week. A
sales tax will be added to iTunes digital downloads, stemming from the Governor's proposition this spring. The Governor had the smart idea to increase tax rates from 6 to 7 percent, and add this tax onto digital downloads to help the states budget deficit of $4.5 billion. The District of Columbia's residents are currently also paying taxes for media downloads, and there are rumors that other states may follow.
