Imagine if your internet bill went to Google, Yahoo, MS, AP, etc. regardless of what you used your internet connection for.

Actually, there is a PUSH to do that to, add an internet “media” tax where you’d be forced to pay for “music” by blanket fee. Of course the musicians that YOU actually like would never see that money because there would be no history tracked of whether you actually did any downloads or which artists you DID download. Same as the cassette and blank CD taxes didn’t go to the smaller acts who would be most impacted by lost sales.
