If this blanket tax is an implied license to download music, videos et.al. then it might even be an interesting proposal. But of course, there'll never be a consensus on either the quantum of such tax, the point of impact of such tax etc. And what do you do with people who have no interest in 'pirating' (the word will be a moot point in such a system) content? How do they opt out and how would it be enforced?
