I think this whole copyright thing should be more like a stock. The artists/label issue 1.000.000 stocks. You can buy one and than you own 1/1.000.000 of a song. It has artist's name on it. You can resell it, show it to your children/friends, but you cannot make 2 stocks out of it. It is unique and has its serial number. The label should be more like a stock exchange, living from transaction fees. I don't think is it fair to customers to rent digital media. What do we pay for? bandwidth???? let's develop this idea...
