Proposing a new score for the music business: Pearlman, a visiting Long Island scholar and occasional lecturer at McGill University, says all music downloads should be priced at 5 cents (fine by us). And if the record labels won’t do it, he says Google/Yahoo!/Apple/etc. should just buy them and move on with his plan. “If you did make available all of the music in the world for almost nothing, suddenly tremendous amounts of money – dwarfing anything the record business has ever dreamt of – would appear, and a lot of it would, I hope, end up in the hands of the creators.” [via]
