No direspect or anything but that's probably the dumbest tax I've ever heard of.

In Hungary there is tax on every _empty_ Compact Disc and DVD. The concept is that you will store warez mp3 on them. So when I archive my personal photos or software projects I pay tax for the recording companies. I don't know the current state but there was rumour about extending the tax on all storage devices (including hard disks and flash pen drives). Inside the EU it is legal to import gadget from any country from inside the EU without paying taxes. So these devices can be bought in the surrounding countries cheaper.

You can disrespect it. It is a really dumb kind of tax :-).
US people may say it is stupid, but at least there are no software patents here yet :-).
