1. Should lists of freely available content be covered
by a licence?
2. Should access to a list, or the items within it, be charged for?
3. How about if the charge was shown with the the percentage donated
directly to the artist?
4. Could such a payment gateway be built using open source tools, and
made open and secure?
5. Should access constitute right to copy, and is there any need for DRM
in this system? Or in any other?
Big questions I know, but they are worth considering, particularly if
you are looking to make a living out of Linux and music. Hope that helps
Good points, John. This could turn out to be quite a fruitful discussion after
all! This is good potential WIKI material. [He said. ;].
