Ideal Music Store, Record Industry P.O.V.
- You don’t own any music. We own it all, regardless what you may
think you’ve paid for. At best, you’re rented our content. Any
conversion of this content to another format requires us to ding
your credit card.
- Every time you play, hum, or think about music, we get to ding
your credit card.
- If we could figure out a way to rig a taxicab-style meter onto
every device you own that is capable of emitting a sound, we’d do
it. In a heartbeat. It would, of course, be pre-authorized to ding
your credit card.
- The revenue sharing structure between our industry and the
musicians who create the music will be dictated by us. We will take
whatever share of the proceeds we feel we deserve.
- We reserve the right to change the rules, in our favor, at any
time. We’ve retained the services of your (quite affordable)
legislature for this purpose.

Make headway at work. Continue to let things deteriorate at home.
