    You also pay fees to GEMA if you buy a writable CD or USB or other forms of data storage, because you could potentially use it to store music on it. It’s included in the price. This also affects devices with which you could transfer the data on the storage medium.

    Don’t believe me?

      You even pay if you buy a printer. Because you could print sheet music I guess.

      I am not even kidding.
