Obviously, you haven't actually read the bill. What it would do is allow a contract to be signed that would specify that a song is to be considered a work for hire, and therefore owned by the record company, instead of automatically being work of art and owned by the artists. This would have to be explicitly stated in the contract, and would not be an automatic condition as you have stated.
I think the answer is, for the most part, simple: put data on (acid-free) paper. We have empirical evidence that information can be stored on this media for several thousand years, courtesy of our Egyption ancestors, with human eyes being the only hardware needed (plus maybe a magnifying glass), and the human brain the only software (plus maybe a Rosetta stone). Anything important can be printed, whether it's scientifc results, historical information, statistics, or even just pictures.
Instead of inventing more complicated machines to store information, we should be looking at the most simple ones we already have.
Well, duh! 4.72 was a version number for IE some time ago. Since Netscape 4.72 just came out, it seems pretty obvious that combining "Netscape", "Navigator" and "4.72" is going hit Microsoft's pages.

btw, I'll lay $10 on them not actually using
more than 10% of these addresses. Bunch of pigs,
really.
