lets all get payed

peatrap	Date: February 3, 2004 @ 10:34 AM If the record companies were to open up their music library, allow down loads for .25 cents, the download would includ a joint licence to make copies from your computer for your use. Next you have a shared file where this download is stored and made available. Each time a file is downloaded from your computer a new joint licence between the new download sight and the original sight of issued. You are payed 5 cents for your part in the transaction(use of your computer), the new download sight is charged 25. cents, the record companies make 20. cents, this process goes on and on, collection,payment and control of this system can be a whole new subject.

kenlinder	Date: May 31, 2004 @ 10:25 AM I don't see that happening. Right now the RIAA and other big wigs have things sewn up so that "fair use" is gone. They even tried to keep songwriters from keeping their copyrights. THey way I see it, is that musicians have to rebell again the system that is screwing them. Until they do that (including the big names) things will continue as they are...the digital revolution in music will continued to get trounced on, as RIAA members continue to refuse to let people have legal mp3s of anything (very few are out there and you can't make our own and stay within the law)...the demand will keep an underground going, but acting as a distributer for their music? Nope.... At this rats It would be more likely for them to come up with their own mp3 like format. One that automatically degrades (like jpg graphics only worse) so that a copy of a copy is less and less dinstinct...maybe even one that degrades every time you play it so that they can force peope to buy the same music again and again. Image that idea (don't thin it hasn't been thought of for a minute)...that just like an old record on a bad player, your digital file gets "scratched" and you have to buy a new one. I should not give them ideas.
