Would you support a 200% tax on your content to give free money to independent artist


mega upload was profitable and the only reason they disappeared is because the government violated the procedures they were supposed to follow.
Yes I realize they paid them, but how much? Like $0.001/download? And don't you have to reach 50,000 downloads just to begin getting paid for them? Is it really worth the small amount they make from megaupload when all their links could be dead overnight? Bandwidth is such a small cost, you make it as if they will go broke over $4/mo hosting fees. Not to mention hosting on their own domain such as "punkband.com/newalbum.zip" will allow people to type in "punkband.com" into their browser.
