>>He expressed several times that he was concerned about copyright protection and not getting paid royalties for his songs......<<

I should think so!! Not only every professional songwriter, but every music publishing company is very worried about that. If you were hoping to make your living from songwriting, the thought of MP3 and free downloading is like turning your 'career' into a hobby. As if things weren't hard enough already. AND if you were in charge of a music publishing company (where a big chunk of the money goes) you would have a serious fire under your b*tt to get this thing done, pronto (at least for the music business). I'm talking about Warner, Sony, BMG, and other corporate publishers. That will be Question Number One from the head office to all heads of publishing until it's done. Bottom line stuff. Also, ASCAP and BMI will be lobbying strenuously for copyright protection in Congress, etc.

Who will be first to market and able to secure market share for their system? That's the big question here, IMHO.

Good luck,
Bond
