I can’t really prove it, I guess, but I was alterted by Andrew over at Artists House Music that three major record labels are banding together to start a tuition-paid music service for college students — the exact thing that I said they should do a month ago.

Should I sue?  I’ve always wanted to sue someone for something, especially something vague like “intellectual property.”

The idea was proposed by Jim Griffin, a “digital music strategist”, i.e. a guy who gets paid to do what a bunch of us do for free (lucky bugger).  He came up with a similar idea in March to add a fee to internet service bills.  Perhaps one day he was browsing the internets and came across a Tweet or link to my article at AHM and said, “Stupendous!  I will steal his idea.”  I doubt it.  It seemed like he pounced on the Tennessee bill thing in the same way I did.

Jim Griffin, if you are out there, tell me if I am the muse to your idea!

(On a side note, I apologize for my lack of posts recently.  I just started working at my new job and thus have no time to be bored and thing about stuff to write about.)
