such physical media will be made illegal

not quite the same, but in Hungary you had* to pay an extra tax on writeable CDs because it was assumed that you're buying them for piracy 🫠 iirc the tax went to support the music and film industry

(* maybe still have to, but I haven't lived there in more than a decade)

    US kind of had that in the '90s. CDRs designated as music disc's cost extra because we were all criminal scum pirating non-stop. However, if it was a data disc, there was no surcharge.

    There was no difference between the two except the packaging.
