In addition, a 1 per cent sales tax would be placed on Internet services and new computers -- two industries that many argue have profited enormously from rampant file-sharing, but haven't had to compensate artists.

Sorry, no sale- the power to tax is the power to destroy.

Well, this wouldn't be a forced tax, would it? You'd only pay it if you buy.
