crap... didn't finish -- as I was saying

I really think the focus should be on MusicMatch, Soundjam, etc. They're the ones with the technology to monitor songs as they're being ripped (they already check the CDDB for info...), and they're the ones that could report back each time a song is played. They should switch over to a combination of radio (where advertisers pay)/a la carte (wherein you pay for individual songs) business models, and everybody could sleep soundly.

Any thoughts on why they've gotten away so easily?
