"Congress needed a fix. Here's what they came up with: anyone who paid a 
music publisher two cents would have the right to make one piano roll of 
any song that publisher published. The publisher couldn't say no, and no 
one had to hire a lawyer at $200 an hour to argue about whether the 
payment should be two cents or a nickel."

Really? That's pretty interesting. Pitty it's not still the case today...
