I quickly skimmed the video because I don’t have 17 min to be talked at right now, but if I recall, this has been done in the past. He may have mentioned it though.
“Music” CD-R’s had an additional tax that went to copyright holders. They were the same discs, just more expensive.
I was told by administratiin that a bit of my (and classmates) college tuition went to copyright holders to cover expected copyright use.
And there was a plan to tax ISP’s but I think that one failed to launch.
