Law: Patents, Trademarks, Copyright
"XX (wird) seine Kunden darauf hinweisen, dass dafür in Österreich die Leerkassettenvergütung zu entrichten ist."
It's in the context of a collecting society's copyright agreement with a ringtone service provider. I'm guessing this is a fee you have to pay to re-record music that you've paid to download once, but may be Austria-specific.

"Copyright levy" seems to be a term used in this context, e.g.
"Industry steps up battle against EU copyright levy"

I even found some sources where people cited Apple's itune invoices, where they were charged "copyright levy".

A more literal equivalent would be the expression "blank media tax/levy". An alternative given by Wikipedia is the term "private copying levy":
