Re: no editors = bad art? discuss! was: Filter or Phasing effect in dance music

mp3.com's subjugation by the RIAA was only one of the first steps to the 
music biz assimilating their more effective competition.  After that, 
Napster etc.  In the process it was made more difficult for artists not 
affiliated with a major to get played, let alone promoted via the site.

I still proudly have my 83c royalty check from IUMA... :)

Oh yes, those were fun days! When Michael Robertsson was leading
mp3.com, in the year 2000, they launched a "CD cloud storage stream
listening" service not very unlike Apple's brand new Music Match
service of today. But mp3.com got busted for copyright infringement
because they had only negotiated collaboration deals with the CD
retail stores, totally forgetting to retrieve licenses from the legal
rights owners of the music (composers, artists, musicians, record
labels, publishing). Man, what a bummer!
