Re: The problem with voluntary...

The two problems I see with this idea is that 1. I'm sure all this money still goes to the labels and the useless RIAA anyways and 2. I already voluntarily pay a ton of money for downloads and cd's anyways so the music pirate next door to me will still get it for free anyways... So this shouldn't even be an issue at all

The RIAA could get the program implemented for $5 then you would find that there are constant price increases every few months.
right, that is another danger i see.

They do say "Voluntary for Music Fans. People who do not share music shouldn't have to pay for a license they don't need."

That is fine by me. i don't download music.

Honestly, if I were downloading music I think $5 a month is reasonable provided there is a no price raise clause of some kind. The RIAA could get the program implemented for $5 then you would find that there are constant price increases every few months.
