The RIAA members should just jump to the chase and stop producing music. Their poor attempts to curtail piracy are doing far more to encourage it. The EFF proposal has the same problem as music sold online today; $5 per month is still more than free. Still, the RIAA should pay attention. The idea has the potential to reach a large market at a low price without the "forced down your throat" kinda feel. People might actually want to jump on it!

I do not download or buy music and I definately do not want to pay a tax for it. Although, the price sounds like a fair price for those that do, atleast for now.

So lets say they start taxing everyone the $5 fee or offering it voluntarily, what will happen next? I am guessing the ISP's will start increasing their prices due to increased bandwith usage, so in the long run we all get hammered anyways?!

I think one way or the other bandwidth needs are going to increase regardless of the music. Even webpages will continue to increase in megabytes. 10 or 20 years from now I wouldn't be surprised if they are measured in gigabytes.
