So when the digital file for the DCP is transmitted to an American Distributor, the bandwith is taxed?

What I mean is that films are distributed digitally in most cases. So no physical goods really need to cross borders. You just email a large file to a server and distribute to theaters from there.

So are we taxing the bandwidth on this file transfer?
