"The rights of the services, the rights of the copyright holders and the rights of the public seem to be in an escalating conflict. Each side claims the other is disingenuous, unreasonable andor greedy. There's seems to be a total disturbance in the Force, we can't just seem to strike a reasonable balance. We are witnessing a very real death spiral…

Would compulsory license constructs solve the problem? Does the ISP-based access fee fix things? Do transparent revenue sharing models offer hope?

The only way we're going to find out is experiment with all of them."
