From Cary Ginell: "...Seems to me that all this will do is permit record
companies to either charge exorbitant licensing fees or out-and-out reject
license requests."

It said the recording must be kept in print in order for the label to retain
the rights. That should encourage labels to license anything they don't want
to pay for keeping in print themselves at a reasonable rate because a
percentage of something is lots better for them than the alternative which
is losing the copyright altogether.
