Spain bans P2P, taxes copy media
Spain is NOT the place to be right now if you’re the typical Internet user.
A drastic move, really, since as pointed out here, you could simply block P2P traffic.
Levying duty on storage media is an alternative often brought up to compensate the music and movie industries. I’m personally against it. The really big losers from piracy right now are the smaller artistes or gaming companies. There’s simply no way to track who’s burning what, making it impossible to reimburse the copyright owner.
