RCRD LBL is, IMHO, trying to establish a premium ad market, e.g., maybe something like Federated Media or the Deck, which both seem to be profitable. So, maybe that will work for RCRD LBL if they can provide a premium experience and build a premium audience for premium ads. But, altogether, I don't know about the mass ad markets. Maybe Google / Firefox could offer ad sponsored soundtracks to web browsing and make it work on a mass scale?

I have to think the numbers will add up for someone, and then we'll see the musical equivalent of a google arise. It could be much smaller scale and yet have a major cultural impact. Oh, by the way, I'm in LA thursday night. Want to try to get together? I have a routine Friday hearing, for which I fly in Thursday afternoon. Yes, I know what you mean.

Or more likely my numbers are completely wrong. Anyhow, I'm impressed that the numbers could ever add up. Maybe the whole thing is a crazy dream. Or more likely my numbers are completely wrong.

The figures seem quite high, but if they can get people to pay that, then more power to them. Very interesting.
