MrG finds it interesting that the RIAA is OK with file-sharing _as long as the artist agrees to it._
He suggests that artists embrace the idea by asking listeners to share their music, and asked for some button ideas. Here’s mine: 
This seems like it could be an interesting wedge to use against DRM schemes. If an artist explicitly releases their work under a Creative Content license and as a consequence insists that any distribution scheme (iTunes, WalTunes, et al) remove any DRM from their content, would that break their paradigm? Do the DRM systems support graded licensing?
