Canon por Copia Privada

English translation: Private copying levy

Law/Patents - Law: Taxation & Customs
Spanish term or phrase: Canon por Copia Privada
Canon por Copia Privada = La remuneración compensatoria por copia privada o canon por copia privada es una tasa aplicada a diversos medios de grabación y cuya recaudación reciben los autores, editores, productores y artistas, asociados a alguna entidad privada de gestión de derechos de autor, en compensación por las copias que se hacen de sus trabajos en el ámbito privado.

Does anyone know whether there is an English equivalent for this? Since it seems to be so specific I'm thinking of leaving it in Spanish and adding an English description, something like:
"The special fee on recording material, known as the Canon por Copia Privada,..."

What do other translators think?
Many thanks! H.
