"Wired.com has learned that industry consultant Jim Griffin, hired by Warner to implement the idea, has already set up an independent company to act as a digital-rights clearinghouse. Griffin's company would be like an ASCAP for the internet, collecting fees from ISPs and divvying them up among rights holders." GREAT IDEA JIM! Got this from Wired.

Not only do you have artists that stand to make money but the writers will request a portion of the pot as well and WMG aint the only music publisher/major label on the block. There needs to be a collection agency to oversee this opportunity. Another collection agency with a non biased money pot, representing the owners of both the sound recording and the underlying composition while surveying the f out of the "Feels Free" music. I just think that with Jim Griffin working at Warner, its kind of a step in the wrong direction, but correct me if I am wrong, he could just be using WMG as leverage so that he can lobby for a "Collective" that allows for the "Feels Free" model.

In the article Jim mentions that the USA alone could raise about $20 billion if the ISP's added $5 to users bills. In a country as big as China the user could pay 5 cents and it would still rake in billions. How that money is then split amongst artists and song writers is the big elephant in the room question....

I could give a flying "you know what" about the major labels content and even the large independent labels couldnt do it by themselves. Apple needs to push this idea more since they are coming out with their 3G phone this year and seem to have a better grasp on delivering the music to a device than anyone, even though Amazon does a pretty good job, too. Again we are counting pennies for the artists. whoo hoo. I think that in order for the “feels free” idea to work you need to have a larger group of content owners on board.
