I am wondering what you folks think about something like this:
http://www.ibiblio.org/studioforrecording/mt/Tagged_Musicians

What I'm searching for, is a rock that musicians can hang their hat on.
It's a commitment to using the Internet in all its promise of fame and
glory, without the RIAA or performance rights organizations. Total
rejection of the past, and embracing the new. The idea is, if we gather
hundreds of thousands of Tagged Musicians, and they all sign up for
sites that also list RIAA musicians, wonder what the RIAA will do?

My thinking is, if this were to be a viable idea, then the next step is
to find it a home. We have organizations like eff.org and public
knowledge.org and archive.org and commoncontent.org and then we have
organizations that are already trying to create that rock, like
webcastersalliance.org and indiemusic.org and DJ'sareus.org and then we
have stations like bNgradio.com and radioaid.com and Lucas' Webjay.com

If this "master" list of tagged musicians is maintained properly, it
provides a means for all organizations/sites that want to "seed" their
sites/organizations for musicians and artists that provide one or more
songs to be shared over the Internet.

The other way to get to the same point, is to develop a RSS file that
all sites can use to contribute musicians and artists on their site to a
search criteria and the musicians and artists can be collected across
the internet. If such a "master" list is already capable of being
assembled, with name, web site, and email address, where is it?

Hope you can clear up my confusion.
Thanks,
Tom
