A solution to the problem is this: NEW TECHNOLOGY!

The whole new system of sharing could be improved where the files are crypto-split up among the sharing computers... -very much the same way the striping occurs in a hard drive RAID system! ONLY the host computers would only allow certain permissions for the crypto signatures of the "parts" of files that they allow to be stored on their computers... THis system would be FAST, very very fast! AND should be based ONLY on the OGG VORBIS file format (for music)!
I have been waiting for two scenero to develop with this idea. (oh -since it would use the same logic of RAID drive subsystems the technology side already has patents -that are expiring). SO - licensing the idea or patenting it - will just drive the idea overseas to where they don't have the software patent bullcrap to deal with)!
SCENERIO #1- I have been waiting for the hackers to do this with the NEW WINDOWs security problems... basicly taking control of users computer and sharing out parts of files from them... due to the number of files and users (a ratio) the actual amount of accesss that one "host" computer would see would be minimal! AND the system would be redundant as well AND could be world wide... !
This way no one person could be "caught with whole copyrighted files on one single computer... as they would be split up among many other computers.
SCENERIO #2 - The recoding artists could set up their own system that would do the same thing...The catch would be that one would have to have legal copy to copy onto the "network" before being able to retrieve it... THIS way the artist would be able to get paid (however, if the artists wanted to they could create such a system and use it to distribute their own music at a price where they would get paid and the Recording Industry! The artists could charge two ways - pay per view OR unlimited use! AND they would still make money if they charged only $1.00 per song!
The users of the system that allowed the recording artist "system" to host parts of files on their computers could get paid for this OR get discounts for use of the copyrighted material that is in the system. ----------------------------------------- The fear that the "recording industry" has is, that with the internet, they can not control the distribution channel like they did the old system... AND that their musicians (and movie artists - actors, directors etc) COULD unify and do it themselves thereby cutting them out of the creme that they are skimming of the top now!
