Some years ago the Library companies 'made' us all
sign new additions to contacts to allow them the
'right' to put music on websites in a digital
format.... and to allow the downloading of such music.

Little did I realize how smart they were and how dumb
[I] was.

However, if the industry can revamp contracts... why
can't we?

How might such a grass roots campaign be waged?

The real question is this.......... what rights do we
really have if we don't own the RIGHT to the music?

Watch out for zero income in the near future.
