If the RIAA/CRIA/etc. claim to be looking after the interests of their artists when trying to stop music downloading (which no one actually believes, of course), but you have hundreds of artists who have no problem with fans downloading the music, why not just let the artists sign a waiver that says “Sure, fans can download my music for free!”?

Then the industry would be exposed as greedy little liars with their pants on fire, and we can all get back to enjoying the music rather than debate copyright law…
