Sorry you read my reaction to QTFairUse as a "cop out." In fact I have not used it. I thought it best to reserve comment until I have and simply note that I favor all shorter paths. When I have personally used it I will feel more comfortable in commenting, as I do not like to speculate where I have no personal knowledge or experience.
Again, I repeat: I do not think the government should have any role whatsoever in actuarial systems unless there is a complete failure to negotiate private, voluntary agreements, and even then I am not for government involvement but simply believe it will prove inevitable to resolve the stalemate.

Wrong. I am clearly on the record as completely opposed to government compelling such a tax. If you read carefully, I advocate voluntary negotiations that produce blanket licenses. I do not think the government should set the rate, I do not think government should collect the money, I do not think government should be involved in its allocation. I believe private negotiations can accomplish these tasks just as they have with broadcast radio and television.

Yes, of course you will use the one from Kazaa or via the shortest path. And that is no problem in an actuarial system.
