What about the street performer protocol? (Score 1)

I remember hearing about how the street performer protocol would be a good way of ensuring artists get paid. Why doesn't someone form a group to advocate this method? I really don't see how the industry will be able to compete with companies using this protocol any more than microsoft can compete with linux. Eventually most companies will be forced into using it, simply because their products won't be able to compete with the 'free' products that were released using the street performer protocol to reimburse the author of the intellectual property. The worst that would happen is the RIAA and the recording industry in general would be forced to lower the prices of their media. I say we just do it, rather than waiting for copyright law to be changed. I don't think that conventional copyright law will be able to compete with this protocol, and companies using it will lose.
