The document proposes a voluntary collective licensing system for music file sharing, suggesting that artists and copyright holders should be fairly compensated while allowing fans to share music legally. It argues that current litigation against file sharers is ineffective and harmful, advocating for a model where users pay a monthly fee to access a vast library of music without legal repercussions. The proposal draws parallels to historical precedents in broadcast radio and emphasizes minimal government intervention, market-driven solutions, and the potential for increased revenue for the music industry.
