Ridiculous, and it didn't take money from the right people or give it to the right people. I would expect the same from an AI tax.

Recordable CDs involved individuals making copies. AI is run by a couple of dozen people who give full access to other people's work, metered by the syllable.
It was never legal for massive corporations to record other people's work on CDs and sell them; that's the opposite of copyright. The comparison is absurd.
