Kroes called for "tracking technologies, to permit a totally transparent process for artists and intermediaries to find out who is looking at what artwork when and to distribute revenues accordingly”.

I think we all know where this is going.

It sounds like either a) he is talking about an opt-in global database to make it convenient to pay and 'consume' digital media, or b) the guy coudn't work a computer keyboard if his life depended on it, and calls support lines when his monitor is unplugged. Please correct me if I am wrong...
