And I actually think that this is a pretty good law. Will make illegally downloaded movies much less common. But will this also apply to Netflix?

I get that. but the most downloaded things are probably videos, movies and games.

It will give the hungarian government an estimated 45 million euros extra per year. that's an average of only 9€ per citizen. This tax can be reduced from the corporation taxes.

more. people are less encouraged to illegally download, and more will prefer to go to the cinema or get/rent a dvd.

you'd think so, but wouldn't those things cost at least as much but most likely more than the tax on the downloads? it might just cause people not to consume altogether.

The Hungarian Government is a bloody mess. Actually, the "democracy" is morphing more and more into an "autocracy". On top of this, the freedom of press as well as the freedom of press gets more and more restricted.

Hungary and also Romania should never have become members of the EU. In fact, they should get kicked out of the EU immediately - if possible.

:(
