I'm pretty sure the tax code restricts their deduction to the actual
cost of what they turn over, which would probably be just the tapes.
Apple wanted to get this changed for their "an apple for every school"
plan, but I think Congress rejected it at least once.  Maybe they
changed their mind later.  Getting a deduction for full retail price
would certainly seem to be unfair.
