Seriously, for me a “China scientist” is someone doing research on China, like a space scientist would do research on astronomy and similar. But I’m not a native English speaker, so, idk

We already have the private copying levy in Germany and some other countries, where you have to pay a fee for several products (printers, scanners, storage media like HDDs, SSDs, SD cards and thumb drives…) due to the potential that you could do (legal!) private copies of copyrighted media on them. The copyright collectives can set the amount of the fees freely (and it’s ridiculously high).

This comes shockingly close to the concept already.
