Very interesting. As a musician it both worries and excites me. As long as
the machines somehow know what CD is being copied, The artist and track
details etc then I cant see a problem, as long as the royalties are
distributed correctly.
       I think this could be the first move that we need to oust the big
record companies.
It wont be long before the machines will have access to a database of
original material that can be burned directly to CD at the vend point.
This should eliminate the need for media giants (hopefully). Or is that a pig
that just went overhead ?. Artists can simply upload their originals to the
database and wait for the pennies to flow. hmm sounds a bit MP3miliar to me.
       Still I like the idea.
