If you don't want your ebooks to be part of the Obama free download servers, then you can opt-out and thus you can choose not to receive any money from the Obama art tax.

Just don't count on Obama to punish the children that are using the pirate bay or other dark nets "pirating" your content.

I am sure most septics will quickly be convinced once they see that a $5 art tax per person actually amounts to a huge amount of money overall. It amounts to much more then what the authors are currently getting. Basically by opting in to be part of the Obama book tax system, and having all of their ebooks available for free online, an author can from one day to the next, by legally circumventing the publishers and other intermediaries, probably be making 10x their current income.
