And for that matter on computers and laptops. While not everyone steals music - it's not much different than the old corner store - that would hike the price of goods to "factor in" the kids who steal chocolate bars. You raise the price to factor in the loss.

I don't understand why this has not gone through - it can't effect competition since all companies would be hit with the same levy - and the company isn't hit anyway - it's the customer paying for it and the government running it.

This just makes more sense to me than lawsuits bringing in the odd minimum wager and fining them $200,000 when they'll never get their money.
