That would be too much in favor of the little guy, I'm afraid, and probably doesn't align well with preexisting deals with the music industry.

If the little guy is indeed little and is earning little or none from their content, then is the copyright holder being harmed? Or is the copyrighted material being promoted, thereby increasing the potential value of that original material?
