I disagree with DRM also. But artists need to be rewarded fairly. What do do? Have an internet tax. This should replace the TV licence so that many are no worse off, perhaps even better off. Tax paid should be proportional to usage - this is very easy to do - ISPs - fixed line and mobile can easily track this. Then there should be money incentives for people to declare what they have downloaded so that the money from the tax goes to the correct artist. Otherwise if they don't declare then they pay a more expensive overall tax which goes into the MCPS/PPL/PRS/Musicians Union pot which is shared out in the same way they do now with the proceeds of royalties of radio stations. The copyright process in the UK should also be simplified: the MCPS, PPL, PRS, Musicians Union, TV Licensing agency etc should be merged to reflect the multi-platform age. After all, Ofcom is a merging of Oftel, BCC, TSA, Radio Authority, reflecting convergence of TV, telephone and computing communications. And the TV license is unsustainable, particularly as increasingly TV and radio are being watched via the internet and it is an unfair tax that doesn't account for consumption. Sure, the money from it provides the BBCs universal access model giving people serendipity but so can an internet tax if a slice of this is taken to promote content where the market fails.
