This is a devious, underhanded plan that would skewer the music industry and which is, probably, currently legal. At the core of the plan is this line of reasoning: individuals have the right to copy CDs that they own for backup purposes. So, to allow many people to copy the same CD, share the ownership of the CD. This is it; the rest is all implementation. I like the five cent per song pricing proposed: this is pricing that is much closer to realistic prices for digital content (it should, eventually, drop to one cent per song, aligning it with my two times order of magnitude metric.
