Compulsory Licensing – What is Music?

15
Ernest_Miller writes “There has been much discussion about compulsory licensing schemes. Most of the debate has been about music. But what happens when any file can easily be converted into a sound file and back again? Can shareware authors convert their software to digital music and get paid for sharing it? Can pronographers get paid for turning images into sound? Scott Matthews has written a progam (Ka-Blamo) that does the conversion. LawMemelooks at some of the issues and asks, what is music?”
