Voluntary Collective Licensing

With all the controvery swirling around digitalized music, it takes a sharp mind to come up with a reasonable solution. It seems to me that the folks over at the Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) have found one. They call it Voluntary Collective Licensing (VCL) of Music File Sharing. Now, I’m no expert on this complex topic so I could be completely off-base endorsing it, but I do know the record labels have brought us to a place where 1) our choices are limited; 2) the artists we do get are overpaid, while the others go unnoticed; 3) we don’t have the proper rights to what we do buy. VCL sounds like a good thing to these ears.
