The first option, of course, makes it harder for people to earn a living from writing, music, television, etc. There's definitely a tradeoff here. If everyone torrents the next season of #Your Favourite TV Show# then there won't be a next one unless Kickstarter _really_ takes off.
Note: Voting for the third option without offering a solution which is technically feasible in the comments will merely cause giggling.

£20 per connection, per month? or £240 per annum. It's not a huge amount but it might make a difference to someone on state benefits or a pension like my mum.
Or a hundred quid more than the BBC license fee.
Do you recall how much extra it would be to add books to the content tax?
I am also wondering what the reduction in enforcement costs would be.

DVDs sold a total of £2Bn in 2009. We have a broadband penetration of 31 connections per 100 people, so that's £104 each per year. Or £8.67/month.
