I don't like this idea at all. I can see this "tax" appearing and musicians not seeing a dime of it. The royalty system of radio stations and TV reporting what they play is broken enough, how is a tax from my ISP going to ever find its way to independent but Published musicians? This stinks of desperation on the part of the RIAA.


"Warner Music Group has big plans to license its music to ISPs, as part of an overall industry plan the label hopes will materialize let people share unlimited music without infringing on content.
Essentially, you'd pay a sort of "music tax" through your ISP that would be divided among labels and artists depending on whose music was played or downloaded the most."
