I don’t see how that would necessarily follow. I would think the fairest tax rate would be such that giving people the ability to easily copy music would be profit-neutral for music owners/producers. If so, tax revenues would only have to cover whatever that decreases the profits of music sales by, and that isn’t necessarily 100%. (Of course, determining lost profits basically is impossible, even ignoring that the ideal solution would determine that for each rights owner in isolation, but that is a different issue. Certainly, requiring all digital music to be free doesn’t avoid that)
