Voluntary Collective Licensing of Music File Sharing
Die Electronic Frontier Foundation (EFF) hat den Beitrag A Better Way
Forward: Voluntary Collective Licensing of Music File Sharing
(Download pdf) online gestellt. Aus dem Inhalt:
EFF has spent the past year evaluating alternatives that get artists
paid while making file sharing legal. One solution has emerged as the
favorite: voluntary collective licensing. The concept is simple: the
music industry forms a collecting society, which then offers file-
sharing music fans the opportunity to "get legit" in exchange for a
reasonable regular payment, say $5 per month. So long as they pay,
the fans are free to keep doing what they are going to do anyway --
share the music they love using whatever software they like on
whatever computer platform they prefer -- without fear of lawsuits.
The money collected gets divided among rights-holders based on the
popularity of their music.

Update: Auch Heise hat den Vorschlag nun aufgegriffen - Internet-
Bürgerrechtler schlagen freiwillige Pauschale für Tauschbörsen vor.
