Though probably the only industry that indeed should be taxed is the legal profession - or at least lawyers who represent industry interests in assaulting the rights of private individuals. Since that seems to be the way the system works, then I will propose a law that taxes lawyers and deposits the proceeds in the newly formed organization PUFFLES, also known as P2P Users Freedom From Lawsuit Extortion Society. PUFFLES would exist to provide legal and financial assistance to any individual or non-profit organization who has been victimized by the entertainment industry's hired guns.
