See here's the deal :
You could have just that and it would only take a little effort by youtube.
1 - youtube would have a place on the upload page to list the music in the video
2 - youtube would then auto generate a "cue sheet" for that video
3 - youtube would then send a file with the cue sheets to ASCAP and BMI
4 - youtube would then pay a fee to ASCAP or BMI just like every radio and TV station
in the world.
END of problem.
But no........the internet is somehow different and nobody has to pay and that's
why SOPA is trying to cut the shit off at the root. The internet has produced
arrogant jackasses that think the law doesn't apply to them so this is the result.
If people can't obey the current law then the government will make new law.
DUH!!!
