I really don't see what the argument here is.. The record companies own the music, they should be able to set whatever rates they want.

Lets say that you shoot content, and there were a few thousand 'Internet video' services that show content slideshows 24/7. Now, most of these video services did pay you the $25 or whatever for the content CD, but now they're streaming it (and other content) to anyone that can manage to type in their website address.

If I were the content provider, i'd be pretty pissed.

content cd's have license agreements, music cd's don't

Well yeah, for now. Is that what you want?
well how would you feel if they decided they wanted to charge you more for the content and make it retro-active?
