This can only be a good thing (Score 1)

Why just the other day I was thinking to myself, 'There ought to be an easier way to give my money to UMG.' This sure beats taking out a fin, finding an envelope and stamp, digging out an address, and making the trek out to the mailbox. Let's face it, the Universal Music Group DESERVES our money. Sure I don't listen to Ashlee Simpson, Lindsay Lohan, or the Doggy Style All Stars but who am I to say where my money should go? And why on earth should an independent society for artist rights like ASCAP, BMI, or SOCAN be responsible for distributing money collected from what is essentially a blank media tax? They'll just divy up the money to artists and music publishers according to boring, measurable criteria like record sales/radio play, etc. I want my money going directly to the LABEL to do whatever they see fit with no public oversight! Maybe the artists don't need the money this month and the coke-head A&R guy needs it instead? Did you ever think of that? Thank God UMG is FINALLY standing up for its rights and Microsoft had the good sense to listen when it agreed to implement a UMG tax in the Zune! Apple, pay attention, or I'll just have to mail the money I was GOING to spend on a new iPod directly to UMG instead!
