What about a tax for citations? Or a tax for reading! Why can't we pass some more copyright legislation?

"link tax" is not actually a tax but something to be paid to the copyright owner. just like we already pay them for reading.

i wonder if citations are covered too. i didn't check. would be quite ironic. when is a citation a link, and when is it not?
