Subj: Online Music Honesty Box

It already exists - fairtunes.com. Has an intersting

Subj: Paying Artists directly

Fairtunes (www.fairtunes.com) is an existing site that
already lets you pay artists directly rather than via their
record company.

What I really want someone who is interviewing one of these
atrists is to ask:

"So how much money do _you_ lose when your CD is copied
rather than burnt?"

Aardvark Responds:
Hey... great minds think alike!  How come the recording
industry hasn't told us about this site?  :-)
