Yeah, we're talking at complete cross-purposes here. :-)

Actually, THREE separate concepts have been conflated in this little
threadlet:

1) tax-dollar financed grants for artistic works
2) collecting society systems
3) collective purchasing of public rights in a work

1 & 3 are closer to each other than is 2.

2 is "collective" in artists. 1 & 3 are collective in buyers. 1 is fully
coercive (you must pay taxes), 2 is semi-voluntary in some countries and
coercive in others (depends on the laws surrounding collecting
societies), and 3 is fully voluntary.

I was talking about 3, but omitted some specific verbage to make this
clear. Hence the "Mr. Pickypants" post. ;-)

This came up, because I was suggesting that CC+ should be compatible
with option 3 above, as well as the more common commercial rights deals
that it was probably designed for.

I think if we want to discuss this any further, we need new threads. :-)

Cheers,
Terry
