Taxing ads of Google, Yahoo! AOL... came out from the "ZELNIK" report ordered by our dear president....
But this time I don't find the idea stupid.
Today, the internet model makes creative people pay, and broadcasters earn millions... and it does not sound weird to us because we are used to. But that is really unfair.
Google & co take advantage of pirate traffic, so why not taxing them a little (they are talking about 1%) to give it back to artists.
This reject from EU won't avoid our lovely French president to enact the HADOPI law...
So in few days in France, if you "share" copyrighted data, you could be cut off from your ISP....
