The point is that these tax does not avoid copyrigth law and people may be
prosecuted anyway. If, for example, Jammie
Thomas-Rasset<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jammie_Thomas-Rasset>,
is prosecuted becouse they share songs and they payed this tax, the
prosecution will not invalid. And when it comes to taxes we speak about
PUBLIC resorces, used to build schools and hospitals, for example. So use
public resources to support culture, not use public resources to support
private industries, and obsolete industries. You can use these public
resorces to promote cultural events and promotion of artists, for example.
Which government create a tax only for support a segment of private
industry?

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