I'm not sure about digital storage such as cloud serviced. But for example you decide to but a new HDD/SSD you pay an extra 1.25 SEK/GiB up to a maximum of 100 SEK, or a new mobile phone that's another 4.38 SEK/GiB with no upper limit.
The reasoning behind that tax is that in Sweden you are allowed to make personal copies of media you own and apparently the movie/music industry loses to much money due to that law. So that money will go to the movie or music labels as compensation for lost revenue.
That's a tax i think I could get behind in the US if it meant I could get what I want for a price that is fair.
I buy games. I subscribe to YouTube premium for ad free access to their content and music streaming library.
I refuse to pay $200 per month for a cable tv plan that has the 4 channels I'd want to watch and 2000 I don't give a shit about. I refuse to sign up for every streaming service under the sun to cobble together what I want to watch. So I pay what I think is a fair price for a vpn subscription, a debrid service and an iptv plan.
I'm more than willing to pay, just not what they're asking me to pay.
