| We had it on Blank Tapes, why not Blank Internet Back in the old days of stone and chisel, the Canadian Government charged a leavy on all blank tapes to cover the cost of people "recording artist material". This went into a general fund payed out to artists based on various ways to cover the cost of recording music.
Until recently we had it on the cost of buying Floppy Drives, Hard Drives and even MP3 players.
Now, if we consider this was all recordable media, then the internet could be seen as a GIANT hard-drive for every Canadian.
So, the question becomes:
If we get taxed to cover the cost of piracy, shouldn't that be considered payment for what you take?
