New York State Governor David Paterson's $121 million budget, which was released on December 16, 2008, included 137 proposals designed to help bring the state out of the largest budget deficit in history. One of the revenue-boosting measures, the so-called "iPod tax," would tax sales of "digitally delivered entertainment services," including downloaded music, by 4%.
