If a website does not "make a dime" then how much traffic did that web site
have?
And if the website had no traffic then how much fees do they really owe
for music?
Nothing from nothing leaves nothing.
But you still get all the somethings(Napster) paying for it.
Sites that are getting traffic need to pay and those are the sites that
want to pay since they are getting traffic from the music.
Real webmasters pay more for content then any ASCAP fee would have
been for their website.
Switch "music content" with "porn content" in your mind for a moment
and think : Do content providers worry about web sites with no traffic
stealing content, or do they worry about high traffic tubes stealing content?
