And, perhaps, demonstrate that "blank tape tax" is not fair for people in
general. Becouse these tax are only to sustain the obsolete business model
of copyright industry.

"You have a copy machine, you infringe copyright!"

Is an argument that does not take into account the principle of presumption
of innocence. but apparently this does not be applied to "tax politics"
becouse I think the product or service object of a "tax politics" is CLEAR
defined, that does not hapen with "a possible copyright infringement". By
this, the same argument:

"You are a book importer, but you CAN import smuggling hided, so you need
pay a extra import tax to compensate the POSSIBLE tax lack."

You can respond: "POSSIBLE, I will pay you, wait my POSSIBLE check"

This is not fair in general, not only for a part of industry. And looks like
a "culture tax" that makes culture more expensive for all.

But, I don't know if is a good idea defend a part of industry against other
part.
