The music industry's latest extortion scheme: preemptive, presumptive taxation
The plan—the boldest move yet to keep the wounded entertainment industry giants afloat—is simple: Consumers will pay a monthly fee, bundled into an internet-service bill in exchange for unfettered access to a database of all known music.

There are so many problems with this that I don't even know where to begin. What about those that don't want Warner's crap product? What about deaf/hearing impaired customers? Why should I pay for the failed business model for an industry that I hate? What precedent does this set for other failed campaign contributors? Am I supposed to pay a Ford tax because they make garbage cars that nobody wants anymore? This is utter bullshit. Let the music industry die the slow, painful death it so rightfully deserves.
