[ARSCLIST] Music Labels are Finally Talking About Voluntary Collective Licensing on College Campuses

[Dave Nolan <DaveNolanAudio@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

From today's EFF "Effector" e-mail update:

MUSIC LABELS ARE FINALLY TALKING ABOUT VOLUNTARY
COLLECTIVE LICENSING (VCL) ON COLLEGE CAMPUSES, an idea
that EFF has been advocating since 2003. Under the proposed
scheme, students would be able to pay a fee and would
receive the authorization to download whatever they like,
in whatever format they prefer, using whatever software
they desire. The project would create a new, nonprofit
collecting society to divide the fee amongst artists and
other rightsholders.
