Auctions have been aound for years. This guy thinks of electronic auctions and now it's suddenly HIS idea. So by the same logic:
An artist creates a song. They own this song. I rip this song to my computer, now *I* came up with the electronic version of the song. It's *mine*, and I want all of you music-swapping/.ers to pay me for it!;-)
How about adding ID3 tags to your mp3 downloads? That way, I might be able to remember who you are after d'loading and listening to your stuff for a while. As it stands you're likely to become (to me) "that thing from/. a couple o' weeks ago", if even that. If I could just check the MP3 sample, I could tell interested friends about you. Omitting the ID3 is like not having album art.

Better than 50% would be, by definition, an average wage, rather than 'pretty good'.
