Well that is an interesting idea. I have had music stripped from my videos I made in Iraq because they contained copywrited music. One of my videos was supposedly played by ESPN at a basket-ball game.

I think it sounds nice in theory but you would have a hard time convincing RIAA that money can flow the other way.
