And you sure it is not?
Here in Italy, I pay tax on profit, so I suppose it should happen also 
there.

No, because in this moment that is the valued resource, and who is using 
value resource should pay for it.

The big rubbery is this big companies are paying peanuts since dozen of 
years, for these valued resourse, thank to the crazy calculation used 
until now.

Just thinking if this case should be filed at an anti-trust commission 
at european level.
