EFF Lawyer Argues For Compulsory Music Licenses

Posted by timothy on from the compulsion-bad-freedom-good dept.

An anonymous reader submits "Fred von Lohmann, lead intellectual property lawyer at the Electronic Frontier Foundation, wrote an op-ed in the Daily Princetonian urging compulsory licensing of copyrighted music. The system would allow internet users to copy music freely and legally, in exchange for a flat monthly fee to be shared by artists and record labels. He says schools like Princeton might be a good place to test the approach."

    50x10= how much?

    Err, 500. When multiplying by ten all you need to do is put a zero on the end of the number you are multiplying.
