> cuts out ASCAP and RIAA

The sad thing for me, is that even if something like that were to function, and no matter how well, people would find another reason the artists don't deserve payment.

So as it stands, organizations like that are how artists get paid at all.

And not as any hard defence of the RIAA in all aspects, but it's not like they don't do anything. They did help set the standards for effective vinyl mastering and playback...
