honestly man - I have no idea what you are saying. but I'll try to distill what I'm getting so far:

a) The problem with the world is the immoral, drug addict supporting entertainment industry, so let it burn...

b) As long as you can blame the entertainment industry for the world's problems, it's OK for you to steal music

c) you only want to pay for music in a prorated share for the actual time you spend listening to it?

How does that formula work? Who monitors? How? Cell phones I guess.

Huge technological hurdles here to implement but - If a song is $1 do you pay .10 everytime you listen to it?

So if you listen to it ten times, it's $1 but if you listen to it 100 times it's $10? I don't think people will go for that.

So what is "fair" and who decides? And if you don't like what is decided as "fair" then you're back to stealing... right?

Cause right now you don't like what is "fair" so that makes stealing OK?

Am I getting this right so far?

I think you're Buddhist, or at least your homepage is... Dood, chop wood carry water... Change yourself, change the world...

How does stealing labor benefit anyone?

but of course the chicken hawks will justify this wrecklessness with the illegal reproduction and use of protected content, including "thriller".

what RIAA do protect is a babylonic tower of drug addicts who have negative impact on children and youth.

but since then I have learned to consider the deeper substance of what does fascinate me, and why. in spite of quality, size and budget, I for me have to rule out thriller and the transformers...
