> So let's imagine a 'bit tax.' Why should the FW list discussion (and all other _non-commercial_ Internet activities, such as browsing and private e-mail) be taxed, while Predators continue to profit tax-free? The "bit tax" would penalize -- and stifle -- the most wide-spread and benign use of the Internet.
Just shifting the tax base from material goods to digital traffic does NOT fix/mitigate the fundamental mistake of taxing production instead of predation. So the "bit tax" is even worse than the Tobin tax.
