I got that e-mail. What is being paid? Is it actually money or is it TIME? At one time the proposed internet "tax" was a time tax. It was originally proposed to cut back on people sending SPAM. How it works is that when a person sends an e-mail, your computer would be sent a mathematical equation to solve (you will never physically see the equation). When the equation is solved the message is sent. That is the "tax". For one person, sending one e-mail you will never notice the amount of time it took for your computer to solve the math problem. BUT, if you are Ebay and sending out thousands of emails every hour, the time to solve EACH math equation for EVERY e-mail sent (every equation is unique) will slow down their computers is a serious way. So, to work around this problem, Ebay would need to spend more money, on more computers, to send the same amount of e-mail traffic in the same amount of time it takes them now. This is how the internet police wish to control SPAM e-mail. The people who send SPAM would be slowed in a serious way because of the time tax. So is the "tax" the e-mail was referring to money or time? I did not follow their links to determine this.
