You are reading it wrong.
The constitution already states we have a right to protect our works. Now you are saying blanket licensing takes it away. I do not think you are reading this right. This would invite everyone to take from you then settle under blanket license if it were automatic. It is an option and those rules only apply under it.

All of this anti-RIAA is nothing but speculation on how the artist is screwed. We will never know for sure how much they get paid, but it isn't as bad as you guys claim. And it isn't our business either.

The Indies are not too good. I heard their music and think it sucks. If anything labels will pay more to artists because there is the internet. They really are going after the infringers.

Yeah sure. They are going after MySpace because there is infringing content. To read anymore into it is conspiracy land. RIAA knows they cannot control the internet.

Grokster should had been 100% non-infringing. They would still be in business.

If you host it and take it down, 512 protects you. They are getting sued for not taking it down. Tough luck kiddo.

Government's job is to referee free enterprise, and that is playing by the rules. The gov't doesn't belong in business to collect on behalf of them. Socialized media file swapping? Sorry pal, pay as you go, for my tax dollars will not tolerate it. I would rather throw them in jail. We already pay enough taxes on enough corporate welfare that I want eliminated. I am not going to subsidize your addiction to media.
