[pp.int.general] cultural flatrate: PP position?

[Rick Falkvinge (Piratpartiet)]

Flatrate is a terrible idea.

Basically, it allows the current incumbents to tax the public for doing
nothing at all.

Besides, it ignores the fact that these current incumbents are no longer
the only ones creating anything. Everybody is a creator today, something
these people have tried to ignore in their proposed worldview. In a day
where everybody is a creator, the "flatrate" concept fails to answer the
most basic question: "Who should be compensated for what and why?".

The position of PP.se is that any such levies, proposed and existing,
need to be scrapped as they are obstacles to the collection,
experiencing, refining and sharing of culture.
