Once Upon a Time
When we had music stores and vinyl discs and LPs were premium items,
stores had listening booths for people to check the recording out.

Since that was a performance in commercial context, publishers and
songwriters could have asked for performance rights back then. They
didn't because it would have been nuts: the record stores would have
stopped allowing previews and sales would have declined.

What do they think will happen this time around? Apple, Amazon, etc.,
pony up or discontinue previews?
