Once again about the "tax on blanks"

Yesterday, a wave of reposting about bad radioactive waste, which “decided to take a tax on clean discs”, crawled across the cozy hostels in case they write something under them, protected by copyright. As I understand it, it began after a recent article in “Vedomosti” . But I am afraid that most commentators absolutely in vain called this necessary and useful “tax” “marasmus”.
Its task is to ensure respect for the interests of rights holders in the so-called "home copying", that is, the creation of copies of protected works for personal purposes. Simply put, thanks to the “tax on blanks,” you and I pay in advance for those works that we can write to these blanks.
In short, when I was tired of reading all these posts, I sat down and scored a couple of articles for antirao.ru:
“Homemade copying” - about the so-called “copying for personal purposes,” and how it relates to the “tax on blanks”;
“Collection from clean carriers” - and this is about the “tax” and those squabbles that are associated with its collection (by the way, he was seventeen years old, he was first introduced to ZoAP, in 1993, but has not been collected yet) .
It is better to read in this sequence.
