If it is anything like the piracy tax some countries have on blank media, you will need to be paying your dues to whichever trade body "looks after" your industry to get anything. But even then most of what they collect will be swallowed up in "administration fees". The only fair way to do something like that would be to have creators register for payment, then monitor downloads of their creations in the same way that library loans are monitored in the UK.
