The solution

Basically it creates a legit P2P network. The creator buys all the cds, and puts his company on the stockmarket. The consumers then pay money for songs and in turn by stock in that company. They own part of those cds (.0000001%). When the stock splits, dividens past out, or whatever the consumer wins. This creates a WIN/WIN situation. The own wins because he's making money from song buys, and the consumer wins from stock payouts. Why does the RIAA not create a network like this, or me for that matter! Thats the gist of it, I suggest reading the article, it's a good one.

I'm all for a Million Filesharers March on DC if this goes on much longer, which I doubt.
