Digital Music Crisis

At the the Winter 2005 Meeting of the Distributed Computing Industry Association during Media Summit New York, Bennett Lincoff discussed The Cause and a Possible Solution for the Crisis That Grips the Digital Music Marketplace:

The crisis that grips the digital music marketplace is the making of the music industry itself. It results from the industry%u2019s failure to respond constructively to the changed circumstances imposed on it by the Internet.

I would like to suggest a possible solution to this crisis: One that simultaneously: Protects the integrity of copyrights; promotes technological innovation; facilitates the growth of all manner of digital audio services (including P2P); and meets consumer demand.
