It will never happen anyway as the industry is already fighting over it .

I think this would be great for us who download music, but for the ones who don't...

I liked more the idea of PlayLoader MSP - the ISP was intended for music-sharing people, whoever wanted to share music would get their tariffs at a little higher price than usual internet subscription. PlayLoader would allow file-transfers within their network, but no distribution out of it. The MP3s get counted to offer statistics for the music makers and maybe to fairly split the money. But the deal is you can legally share that music. A fantastic idea, but I haven't heard much about them for long time.

I'd be in.
unless there is an opt out option it is just a way for the labels to capitalize another way and chances are they'll still bitch and attack the bt users out there.
