I wonder, if your employer gave you access to Spotify, would they still be liable to pay extra to the collection societies?

I had a good laugh at this but obviously only taxing hard drives or radios doesn't really get to the heart of the problem. They should levy a tax on ears. Everyone with ears listens to music and is therefore liable for the tax. Anyone without ears shouldn't have to pay.

No need to double pay if your employer pays for Spotify, or even merely send you a free link.
But taxis, they provide radio entertainment to just about anyone that just happens to step into the vehicle. And sometimes buses, too. So I wonder if those have been covered by Teosto yet!

My understanding is that buses and taxis have to pay.

What about company paid mobile phones which also can receive FM-radio? I think there isn't a phone model anymore which does NOT have the receiver. Maybe someone could tip off Teosto that there's one way collect payments they've been ignoring. :-)
