I think Mike was referring to e.g. radio licensing regimes where the radio
station can play whatever it wants and pay some flat fee to the (C)
holder. This is "involuntary" collective licensing in that the (C) holder
can't decline and say the radio station can't play his songs. It differs
from e.g. the EFF's suggestion of voluntary collective licensing
