RE: It will be interesting to hear John Atkinson's response

The move toward renting rather than owning music is already well underway,
regardless of anything MQA does or does not.

So far, no-one I spoken to has been aware of the MQA royalties or has been
willing to tell me, presumably because of NDAs. But as long as the unprocessed
original PCM files are available for download or streaming, I don't see this
as a major issue.
