Default New copyright tax

Our government is planning a new law where we will have to pay a new tax to
compensate the authors copyright association. They're expecting to collect about
20 million euros to pay authors. For example a printer capable of printing 40
ppm will cost 12.5 euros extra. Tablets, smartphones, USB sticks, external
drives will pay in relation to its capacity. I don't know if Windows 9 will be
more expensive or not.

Is that meant to be a smart-ass answer or did you just misunderstand

Old EU tax:

And just like the way the US has lent on computer makers to remove the
ability to record the audio flow.

They are all at it. All the useless, negative, non-creative people.

Those are the kind of special-interest-group inspired taxes that make
me feel very sympathetic towards piracy. The music, movie and
publishing industry thrive on them.
