The point is that neither GEZ broadcast fee nor GEMA fee on empty media
(and other things) replace the system of copyrights and capitalist
market of exclusive rights in intangibles. GEZ/GEMA fee payer gets *NO*
rights reserved to copyright owners in exchange for paying a fee at all.
Whereas in the Stallman's insane anti-copyright model everyone
(presumably even tax exempt poor people) gets all the rights in all
works just because someone else pays "small tax".
