A recent Slashdot discussion mentions a German law levying a copyright
tax on computers to address income lost by publishers to piracy. The
article mentioned touches on the 3-year old law, which Germany is
'poised to enforce', as well as efforts by other nations to pass and
enforce similar statutes. Another one to watch, maybe.
