Imperator Fyron writes: "Who said anything about regulatory action?"
1. Atrocities: "We should outlaw greed and regulate the Recording industry. Any proofit over X amount would go to the Federal coffers to help pay for computers in every house hold." I suspect he was only semi-serious (outlaw greed?), but there it is.
2. Baron Munchausen: "I'd support a mandatory percentage of the profits being given to the artists before I'd support some sort of 'windfall profits tax' on the music industry." Response to Atrocities.
3. Imperator Fyron: "Which is precisely why downloaded songs should have an upper cap of 50 cents...". Vague, could be interpreted as a voluntary cap (though that might be illegal price fixing), but could also be interpreted as regulatory.

regulatory action ?"
5. Hunpecked: In the post Fyron replied to. Historically, regulation always starts with complaints, and this isn't the only place I've seen complaints like these. I just thought it was worth pointing out that some remedies can be worse than what they're intended to "fix".
With that in mind, let's get back to the griping.
