So I'm in Czech and want a copy of an American film and where do I get the 100% tax deduction from, the US or Czech Government?
So how does it work on an International basis?

Neither side should be subsidized by any Government. If people want to donate to projects, let them and if companies want to invest in projects let them. Leave it exactly as it is and squash pirates with some new and better laws. Like making all those who profit from piracy, liable to the damages.

This is why there will have to be massive Government controls and as he says it doesn't stop piracy. Because companies who can opt for the present system still have to deal with piracy. So build more bureaucracy, tax laws and piracy still remains. Plus the problems of regulating it on an International basis are unsolvable.
So why even bother?
Seems all he wants is for the present system of schemes like Kickstarter, to have the donations tax deductible.
