Apple (and Google, and Netflix and anyone else..) should campaign to have statutory music licensing[1] extended to video/film.

That originally came about when the music industry couldn't agree to reasonable licensing terms for radio, so the government intervened to impose a licensing regime that allowed the new industry to build audiences while still making a return for artists.

Sound familiar?
