Yes this has been looming for a while. We have some problems possibly looming in the UK too. The only thing I dont get about the American system is that it's not a level playing field technologically. We have to remember that USA is very much a vested interest country (we are slowly becoming one too). If the man with the biggest, fatest purse says I want this to happen then it happens! It's a bit like the media only they twist the arm of the law makers.
Make no bones about it, this will fail in the long run and they are simply stupid to try to play this game. Napster went Corporate but many others took its place. So one way or another the water will flow. It simply can not be stopped. If not the consumer, the artists themselves who have the savvy will simply see it as an opportunity. The more people who hear their music the more will come to their shows and possibly download their tracks etc. The model will simply change. Greedy people will end up with nothing at all. Mind you it will pass the established music industry by, but why should we care? Give you an idea; when I spent some of my early working time in the music industry they used to call me 'affectionately'the straight. Why? Cuz I was the only on there who wasnt wasted on drugs! Pop will eat itself when it gets the munchies!
I may come back say something usefull later.
