Philadelphia Charging Bloggers a Fee

Not sure how the city can trace bloggers who should pay this, but assuming they have that magic figured out, does it make sense to charge bloggers a fee at all?

The economics of this are quirky. The cost of identifying and notifying bloggers has to outweigh the revenue they’ll collect, right?

I wonder if this is for a given time period, and if they can tack in on to municipal taxes.

Weird. Anyway, just another reason to forgo ads on your blog. Very few bloggers actually drive enough traffic to make it worth the annoyance of ads anyway.

Thoughts?
