The business model that has been in place is simply no longer workable.

I'm sorry, but what part is unworkable? Despite all the theives -- sorry, "entitled businessmen" -- ASCAP is effective, as the article shows. Recording labels are still making money. Exactly what isn't working? There may be millions of copyright violations every day, but without ASCAP et. al., nobody would be getting paid at all. Seems the balance between theft and policing is working just fine.

I thought ASCAP was in it for the artists, not the labels?
