Piracy tax - googled it, I would be against it too.
What would do for now if there would be laws in Czech which would effectively stop such blatant download services as www.ulozto.cz

then sue your trade organizations
sue the mpaa for negotating on your behalf
canada has a piracy tax on blank media and the supreme court has ruled that filesharing of music is legal because the piracy tax pays for that
that the point it not piracy because it paid for.
If you think the fee is too low sue the trade organization who negotiated the fee.
they are the ones responsible.
btw if your not filling out the paper work to get your share, who's fault is that
i teach musicans how to maximize the income from piracy taxes as part of my course program. It really not that hard.
There is no fucking reason why over 137 million dollars of unclaimed piracy tax is being held by the canadian government.
