‘The levy on advertising revenue is the
latest plank in France’s drive to regulate the internet, which has seen
it enact some of the world’s toughest antipiracy legislation.

Ireland, but under the proposal, the operator would pay a levy every
time a French internet user clicks on an advertising banner or
sponsored link on its sites.’
