I just stumbled upon www.fairtunes.com. It's a web site that allows you to voluntarily compensate music artists - say in the case you have their mp3 but not their album. This is exactly what every mp3 collector needs to lobby behind - a forward thinking company like fairtunes.com that actually gets your payments directly to the artists.

So, let's all undermine the RIAA and show them that mp3 is indeed a viable distribution standard and that, in the grand scheme of things, consumers aren't cheapskates - we'll compensate where compensation is deserved. In fact, let's show the RIAA what we've long known since the advent of mp3: they're obsolete and no longer needed.

Well I put my money where my mouth is - $5 to Courtney Love. I only have a couple of her mp3s from Hole, but she's a real vocal critic of the RIAA and I'd like to give her incentive to stay that way.
