Surprise, surprise... the EU wants "levies applied to blank compact discs, cassettes, hard drives, printers and other equipment used to copy artists' works." What a great idea! Let's tax the shit out of companies that provide products with completely legal uses. After all, people don't commit crimes, companies commit crimes! Right? The economic genius of the EU always astounds me. They're so damn wise! Why, I want to move to Europe right now just so I can pay more for all my products, too. What an exciting prospect. Why haven't we ever thought of this? It's not like unwarrented taxes have ever started a revolution or anything.
