I can't remember exactly but I think a smaller version of this bill (COCINA... or something... I think) passed... Or was it just a test vote? Meh, can't remember.
But yeah, the industry is trying to cling on to something that they should have lost control over a long time ago. Imo, a switch over to digital delivery might be good for the enviroment as well.
Ideally, i'd like for most stores to stop selling cd's and switch to a digital delivery system. You want some songs? Go up to the music selling machine, swap a credit/debit or insert some cash, plug in a jump drive/memory card/mp3player/ipod, and select the songs you want. You buy them, they get transfered over and you go on with your day. If you want a physical copy, order it online from the artist.
