Warner Music - colleges pay piracy tax; they won't sue

»techdirt.com/articles/20081204/1···23.shtml
Columbia, Stanford, University of Chicago, University of Washington, MIT, University of Colorado, University of Michigan, Cornell, Penn State, University of California at Berkeley and University of Virginia have expressed interest and talks are under way.

Of course, while the introduction frames this as a "voluntary" blanket licensing program, the presentation also mentions that they'll need some way to get all ISPs and universities to buy into the plan, or they'll have to work out a way to "avoid massive leakage." So, basically, it's not voluntary at all. It's either join, or get saddled with significant limitations. In other words: all ISPs and universities need to agree to pay a huge tax to the very industry that hasn't been able to adapt, and then trust them to distribute the funds fairly.

Re: Warner Music - colleges pay piracy tax; they won't sue

If they started listening to NON-RIAA music and dumped major label stuff, what would they do since they wouldn't be listening to their corporatecore.

Being thieves regardless since they would take money even if they don't.

Femtocells doomed?

The authors of this article make no mention of the increasing shift of HOUSEHOLDS to cellular only phone service. Femtocells will do nothing but accelerate this movement. Many of us face various issues with in-home reception that could/would warrant the use of such a device. Once reception issues are corrected, the desire to drop ma bell becomes a viable possibility.
