Chicago Tribune: Chicagoans who pay to stream movies and music from services like Netflix and Spotify will now need to fork over an additional 9 percent for the privilege, as will Chicago businesses that pay to use everything from real estate to court databases online, under a decision the city quietly made recently to expand its taxing power. The added costs are the result of a ruling by the city finance department. The city expects the ruling to bring in about $12 million each year.
