I think you misinterpreted my comment. I am in no way endorsing or agreeing with such a law. I agree with you, it is unreasonable. However, that is a separate question from the one this article addresses, which is that, assuming this law does indeed exist, does it apply to bloggers who attempt to make money from their blog? Now I haven't read the law itself, so who knows. But if it exists, then it sounds to me like it does in fact apply to them. Likewise, if a person in Philidelphia sets up a consulting business, I'm sure they are required to pay this fee as well, even if they take a loss the first year, in which case they would have made even less than these bloggers.
