How are you even going to put tariffs on movies?
On physical copies this would be quite easy, but I'm pretty sure almost nobody except nerds like me still buy physical releases of movies.
Like let's say you pay for a streaming service that offers a variety of movies from many different countries. How would you put tariffs on that?
Is this going to introduce a system that is going to spy on users even more than they already do that will keep track of which movies from which countries they watch to increase the price?

@SuperDicq my guess is that it would affect the companies who get the license to put the film on their platform. like, if it's a japanese movie and netflix wants the rights to stream it in the US, then they would have to pay the licensing fees for it PLUS the tariff. at least, that would be i think the smartest way to do it?
@beardalaxy@gameliberty.club So this is not going to affect users of these streaming platforms at all? Basically the publisher will pay the bill. Great idea.
@sun @SuperDicq yeah that makes sense too. i was thinking more along the lines of the publisher paying the bill and that cost raising the price of the service for all users (in the US).
