A little global licensing in the US

The United States is certainly the champions in the West for penalization of illegal downloading, the Majors do not hesitate to pursue thousands of net surfers who have contributed to the dissemination of music via P2P networks. But in fact, these judgments, with sometimes incredibly heavy fines (a few hundred thousand dollars) have not succeeded in damming up the phenomenon.
An initiative launched by Warner and with the approval of the RIAA could offer the universities and their students a shelter. It would act quite simply with the students paying a royalty(as part of their tuition fee) in exchange they could download, without fear of legal action, all the music they want. Several universities are very interested by this proposal which will also avoid to them having to install and manage heavy filtering of the internet.
In short, these students will have soon the possibility (one does not know if they will have the choice) to adhere to a system of global licensing. We suppose that if this life size test is validated by all parties, it will be then proposed beyond the universities.
So for a long time we have been hostile to a global license, however we wonder whether it would preferable to the future which Hadopi prepares for us. (Hadopi is a French initiative that has a graduated response to piracy leading to 3 times and you out),
