So now the music industry is trying to get rid of this tax so that they can prevent music piracy
Same dilemma here in Switzerland. The SUISA (= swiss RIAA) demanded a tax on every recordable media to cover their "damage" by copying music etc. They got the tax but the parliament ruled that "copying amongst friends and neigbours" may not be punished.
It would be even legal to share via E-Mule (P2P) etc. if one could prove "they are all friends. :-D "
