Jupp. Not much people in my circle do know about any of these "taxes".

I really "like" (sarcasm) the levy on smartphones. This one is 36 Euros. Sad, but true. The problem with these "taxes" is, that the "Verwertungsgesellschaften" give the money to artists or labels but there the big fishes do profit most.

But the lobbying argument is, that all artists strife, because of these "taxes".
