I guess they could tax the cpu's, because you can't run a system without a cpu. Altho I still think that's a bad idea. what if someone built a legit system with linux, and it has nothing but open source software on it? why should that person have to pay?

Then, wouldn't that then make it ok to pirate software because it would be paid for?
You can't run a system without a lot of things. WHere are you going to put the CPU without a motherboard. How about using ui without a graphics card? How are you going to install windows, linux without an optical drive? What are you going to install and run your os, and store your booty without a hard drive? It's also not going to run without any RAM. And it definitly won't work without a PSU.

And I think those Germans would have every right to pirate.
