Benjamin, What you describe already operates for broadcast and public performance. There's a number of national agencies that perform this function ... the Performing Right Society (its called something like that) being one of them. However the key ingrediant which you fail to elucidate is what revenue exactly such an online society would distribute. For radio and TV its a small levy on the advertising revenues. Venues pay an annual fee. You will have to locate a secure revenue source that's going to pay the artist if you want to institute such a scheme -- then tell the music companies 'cos a lot of them, Napster included, are still struggling to find out what revenue stream *they're* going to use. regs scot. +------------------------------------------------------+ | F | | [[ From: [email protected] ]] | | +--[[ NERVE AGENT AUDIO SYSTEMS ]]--+--(CH3)2CH-O-P=O--+ | [[ http://mp3.com/nerveagent ]] | | | CH3 | +------------------------------------------------------+ ----- Original Message ----- From: Benjamin Spatz <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Monday, July 31, 2000 12:51 PM Subject: Re: <nettime> copyright wanking <...> # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: [email protected] and "info nettime-l" in the msg body # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [email protected]
