Same idiocy as with taxes on empty cd's: let's tax everyone, that even though only few actually do download music illegally.


One other option my country is considering is upping the taxes on mp3 players. Some estimates say a 60-80 GB iPod would have have a $75 dollar tax.

Personally, I think the best way to do this, is to tax the heaviest users OF bandwidth. For example, anyone who downloads 120GB+ should get taxed at a higher level than someone like myself.

One problem however... is that how much of that 120+ is going just to music, and how much is being used for videos, or programs?

Still, $60 a year in taxes to cover music downloads is a friggin' bargain. Just yesterday, I spent $165 on 10 CD's. Although I'd likely still buy CD's, I'd happily download music just to see if it's worth the purchase or not.
