Re: [microsound] popcorn

Ha, nice! Your popcorn respone mail got me to think what would happen if 
some copyright holders just reversed it. The copyright holders... for 
instance some famous music makers could release some music that should only 
be permitted to view, listened to, downloaded, copied and shared privately. 
If any commercial use is suspected, like airing on a commercial radio 
station or tv channel, copyright infringements would be obvious and some 
compensation to the copyright holder for the "damage" should be necessary. 
The mass media should also be invited to cover this happening.
Guess this scenario only could happen with a "big" artist with some 
considerable amount of so called fame. A great sense of humour and integrity 
would help also. Also probably would be needed some risk money to make an 
experiment like this come true.

Hmm... just thinking aloud...

Could this happen? Has it happened already somewhere?
