Maybe you don't know yourself. Your posts smack of this "big-music is bad, they exploit artists, music should be free" gobbledygook I hear so often today that sounds like it's straight out of the Che Guevara school of anti-capitalism.

You should listen to yourself. With a straight face you defend outfits like ASCAP and SESAC. OK EVERYONE, USE THE GOOGLE! Google up ASCAP and SESAC, and see what people have to say about them: racketeering, extortion, price fixing, corruption, etc. Your defense of them is as credible as a New Jersey wiseguy defending a Newark trash hauler.

Your responses show you know these companies and their licesing terms intimately. Then you would also know that if the blanket fee structure were overturned and a pro-rated, per song structure put in place, their extortion racket would collapse.

A million and one people can say something wrong, but it's still wrong. What does that prove?
