Edgar Bronfman Jr.’s Warner Music Group has tapped industry veteran Jim Griffin to spearhead a controversial plan to bundle a monthly fee into consumers’ internet-service bills for unlimited access to music.

…Warner’s plan would have consumers pay an additional fee—maybe $5 a month—bundled into their monthly internet-access bill in exchange for the right to freely download, upload, copy, and share music without restrictions.

Griffin says those fees could create a pool as large as $20 billion annually to pay artists and copyright holders.

So, that's $19,999,999,999.99 for Bronfman, and the artists can split the rest.

Bronfman is the biggest clown in not only the music biz, but really the galaxy. A lifelong loser with something to prove after pissing away an enormous inherited fortune. He's always got some moronic extortion scheme to push. This is just another iteration of the same boneheaded scam he was trying out on the cellphone biz six months ago.

Q: how did Edgar Bronfman Jr make a small fortune?
A: he started with a large fortune!
