New York - In this exclusive Interview from Digital Media Wire’s Digital Music Forum East, Ron Berry, Isle of Man’s e-Commerce Advisor, details how the government on this little independent island is trying to be a pioneer in a field where many larger nations are struggling, namely finding a way to compensate musicians in a digital age. The basic idea is to charge Internet users a flat fee for access to music online through their ISP and then pass that money on to the collection societies, record labels and other interest groups. Will it work? You’ll be the judge. Safe to say that it’s an interesting experiment.
