Our purpose is to open the field up a bit. Unfortunately we're not fighting on this front alone. Music isn't an art , it's an industry . Internet media issues don't apply solely to source code or information format. Controlling the music itself is a burning issue for the music industry.
Music is just another vehicle for maximizing profits.
Putting control of the Internet in the hands of the corporations means that a utopian musical vision may be dying. Players that do not look for these 'watermarks' or play the music anyway will be illegal. Make an educated guess as to who will control the watermarks. The hardware would initially support MP3 and other compressed file formats, but a signal from the RIAA would activate the blocking trigger. The current position and function of the music industry is an invented one.
