So although it looks like a nice revenue stream for the music industry, why should they get any cash ?
Let them have the cash!
If it funds the music industry then this could (OK?, so it is unlikely, but that is not the point, the point is that it is possible) lead to free/cheap (legal) downloads of music on the net. Which (for all those people who haven't spotted already) means that all the people who have a phone that rings (or no phone at all) get away paying more or less nothing for their music!
I say again, let them have the cash. If you are stupid/vain enough to have a ringtone that sounds (loosely) like a chart song, you deserve to be fleeced of all your hard earned cash.
