EuroDemoscene: The Finnish Demoscene Tax Fund
In effort for transparency, Finnish tax authority publishes yearly report of 
income and capital taxes, included are the individuals with over 150k euros 
of yearly income.  Inspired by series Raha-Suomi, we went to dig in if the 
demoscene is actually so important for Finnish economy, and who are the most 
valuable contributors. 

We gathered our networks for ancient members of the demoscene groups, and these 
are our findings, all time paid taxes summed by the demoscene group. Keep in 
mind that these are top contributors who personally paid these taxes, no 
companies are listed.  This is obviously not total taxes paid, but it gives an
estimate how much extra value the members of the demoscene are producing.

Hope these figures help you out to figure if it is any value to rent that school 
for demoscene event, or if it is just a waste of time.

Also, the rankings might surprise you!
