    Seriously, if the school house rock guys need the 50 cents they'll make from the 12 people who clicked on "when a bill becomes a law" when I posted it on my blog 2 years ago, that's just too pathetic for words, really.

    And so it begins. This time it's not the evil old RIAA or MPAA, it's an organization that actually makes sure content creators get paid.


    I love this. Soon, everyone will have to pay for every bit of content they consume. Finally.

    @Ricki-Oh: Sure, i'd gladly pay the content creator. But some faceless organization that takes 80% of the fees and sends the creator 20%? not so much.

    @Moonshine Mike: Individual creators do not have the time or the means to track the use of their work and that's why these organizations exist. PS: Where did you get the 80/20 split info...or did you just make that up?

    Would ASCAP please start with the lyrics sites that hit you with 10 popups and then won't let you surf away?

    @Weegee's bored: You mean the ones that want to sell you the ringtones, but refuse to show you the lyrics?


    So music videos mostly they are after?
