  70s? My country every year still steals from everyone millions of euro “because that phone can be used to watch pirated content”

  We pay 7 euro on each smartphone, 7.50 on each USB drive, up to 18 euro on each internal drive (sata or name, but under 160gb is free) and products are castrated with regional firmware because if it’s just a TV then it’s 4 euro tax, but if it allows recording it’s the 5% of MSRP

      It depends by the size (smaller is less taxed), but the law is old and it’s exempt only if under 1gb

  Pretty sure you also had to pay royalties fees for radio/Internet radio regardless of where or not you played their music.
