In this model, consumers would pay royalties into a pot (by paying an extra monthly fee to their ISPs, for instance) and would then have access to all the music from all the labels that participate in the scheme.
Definition of "SCHEME" : a plan or program of action; especially : a crafty or secret one.
The *IAA is always trying to squeeze another penny, most of the time using some scheme to do it. This is just another example.
I would like to think "ignore them and they'll go away", but I don't think we'll get that lucky any time soon. But the article does point out one interesting thing... even the *IAA folks know that their days as media-overlords are coming to an end. If they can just squeeze out one more scheme in their dying breath...

Yes... because red blobs make me think "murder." And being brainless -- unlike politicians and lobbyists, who have brains and are willing to think for me, and protect me from my own stupidity -- I must obey.

And are we certain that by us snagging them, we aren't endangering the local habitat? Or taking the female of a species that only mates once ever 50 years? If these creatures live at >500 degrees (as some have said), how will we keep them alive in the sub in order to put them back when we are done? Or will we snag them, kill thim, then inspect them, all in the name of science?
(note: I say go for it, but thought I'd stir the kettle a little. I figured SOMEONE would have raised all of these questions already.)
On the sruface, this sounds like a fantastic idea. But in reality.... some presidents would have enjoyed the experience, and wouldn't relenquish the controls at the end of the mission.

I can't imagine the metaphor will scaling that far. But hey... they're the experts. I'm just a guy with common sense.
Good luck to you, scientists.
Is there any OTHER use for a screen? I mean, aside from the obligatory porn comments that I'm sure will follow.
It can only be slander if it is untrue. And they just took a huge step in proving it true by suing him for a BLOG POST, for cryin'-out-loud.
I know. It's a catch-22. But hey, you have to admit it's ironic.
