Summary: NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Warner Music Group is incubating a non-profit royalty-collection agency called Choruss that assumes digital piracy will never be effectively controlled. Instead, Choruss hopes to convince universities and ISPs to collect a blanket music license fee from their network users. That revenue would then be funneled to music owners as royalties. The Choruss concept has drawn fire. Music industry pundits characterize it as a new form of taxation. Choruss president Jim Griffin jabbed BACK at those critics at this week's Digital Music Forum East in New York.
