I know the answer the labels want to hear - every different channel/use has its price (so let's maximize revenue.)<BR/><BR/>But I think normal people just want to listen to music, and given the chance to feel good about, they'd rather.<BR/><BR/>Any chance you can link to the mailing list?J Chris Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11598260533932670972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11697838.post-6498331580205757342007-08-15T09:02:00.000-05:002007-08-15T09:02:00.000-05:00Ryan - Yeah, you have quickly zeroed in on the iss...Ryan - <BR/><BR/>Yeah, you have quickly zeroed in on the issue - tracking usage/downloads and the corresponding compensation to the *proper* artists. <BR/><BR/>What I was trying to gauge is... as a consumer do you care? Or is it "not my problem"? The consensus that I have seen is that everyone agrees that they current systems are broken - but the consumers aren't capable of fixing it. My own gut reaction as a consumer is generally .... "I'm paying for the ability to download and listen to virtually anything in perpetuity, therefore I have fulfilled my half of the commerce contract. If you (the labels) can't figure out how to properly distribute the money I have paid for such right, that's not my problem." <BR/><BR/>Now, as someone that knows more about how the system than the average bear - I realize (and have been shown) the flaws in that logic. <BR/><BR/>But do average consumers care? Or is such an action just making the problem worse by continuing to feed the rich when it is the poor that deserve to eat?jherskowitzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15797190582674008000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11697838.post-28172180644344355402007-08-15T04:52:00.000-05:002007-08-15T04:52:00.000-05:00Hi, if I interpret your scenario correctly, you sa...Hi, <BR/><BR/>if I interpret your scenario correctly, you say that rightsholders are compensated, even if you get their songs from other sources than the subsription service, right?<BR/><BR/>I thought those subscription services pay out the labels depending on how many downloads they have in that service. If that is right, then the labels and artists won´t participate from you getting their songs from a different source, at least as long as the subscription service doesn´t track that - which is most likely.<BR/><BR/>Have I missed anything? Or what would your solution be?<BR/><BR/>Greets, RyanAutor: Ryan Rauscherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14865630789602112064noreply@blogger.com
