> Is it being proposed that all copyrighted material be subjected to compulsory universal licensing? Personally, I think this would be a far better copyright reform than any we've gotten in the last hundred years. Compulsory licensing for music, which is largely in effect for public performance and broadcast performance (in North America at least), enables all sorts of great things that just aren't possible in the modern copyright environment. I can think of far worse things in the world for owners of copyrighted works who want to sell that work than for them to have to do so in a fair market.
