		<description>Reciently I purchaced a new Rush30 Video. I am in my 50's and had never purchaced a Rush CD or seen the band live. P2P has brought to my attention a large number of artists most of which I've never heard of, Stanley Jordan, Bela Fleck are only two such examples. All of which I would pay to see or be glad to suggest to others. World domination by the entertainment industry is only somthing that the population has allowed. With the information "REVOLOUTION" people are becoming aware of just how much money is being made by corporations and they are angry. Would't it have been a money maker to design a typewriter that required you to "PURCHACE UPGRADES". We now are at this point in time when early explorers traded meaningless shiny beads for items of great value. Microsoft is one of those early explorers, but for our benifit there are many more exlplorers willing to trade and give us a better value for our money.&#62;&#62;&#62;If it cost $1.00 a month to share per individual (think world population), the profit pool is astronomical, a few hundred million per month? Even more I'd imagine. Could this be shared amongst the artists on a "popularity system". This idea may be quite far fetched, it may be possible to send it "directly to the Artist". Out of every $29.00 cd sold, the artist will recieve about, what $3.00? Every time the song is played on the radio 1/3 of a penny (abstract figure supprisingly close). Soon they will be monitoring "WHO IS LISTENING"(1984 Big Brother &#038; not the Holding Company) and charge them with a "Criminal Charge" of listening without paid permission. Oh sorry, did I mean Satilite Radio.

I have to get to work and pay my bills. I thank you for your thoughts.

By the way, how do you log on &#038; give your "Uncowardly" name??
