Don't worry, French geeks are pissed off as well
Yeah, almost every tax talked about in this thread exists in France. But how

As said, if you don't sell the phone with an

Why?
The phone itself isn't capable to play anything until you add the software. It
has a stereo audio circuitry, but it could be used just to listen and
One of the dumbest tax we have here France is about multimedia hard
drives, defined as an external hard drive (with usb) with a video output
connecting to a tv without the use of a computer.
There is a tax on these devices.
But no (or less) tax on raw HDDs
And no tax on empty hdd racks with video

And I really like that speeding ticket analogy. This tax that assumes
guilt is insane. I don't understand how modern democratic justice
systems can tolerate it.
Well, modern democratic justice is money, but that's another war.

Ok, add Spain to the list of countries in which this tax exists.
So far we have this tax in CD, DVD, Hard Drives, USB memories, MP3 and MP4
players, MP3 playing mobiles, photocopiers, scanners, printers, memory
cards...
And they even want to extent this to everything that can be used to copy

well, in denmark we pay a license to be able to watch the national tv, and
listen to national radio stations, but they did decide that it now had to be
a media license, because it was possible to listen to them online, and see
different programmes online, so now if you have a computer, but no tv,
this will not work in denmark, because the phone will be deemed capable of
doing it.

In Hungary there is tax on every _empty_ Compact Disc and DVD. The

The speedometer on my Volkswagen says my 10-year old Passat is capable
of driving 160mph, but doesn't mean I should have to pay a speeding
ticket as though I do.
I concur, these tax laws are silly business. I was glad to hear that
