Webcasters will still have the option to licence directly. "Compulsory licensing" means simply that publishers cannot refuse to licence broadcasting, not that they must exclusively licence it through SoundExchange. Just how quickly SoundExchange will disburse licence fees to non-members is anyone's guess, though. “DJ Profusion” is wrong.

I don't think the password law in Pennsylvania that you're bringing up is relevant. - Chris.

AACS is NOT sending takedown notices as defined by the DMCA. The issue is not copyright infringement. They are sending cease and desist letters to end the "promotion of circumvention" that spreading the number does. By the way, mathematical concepts are not copyrightable. Yes, we know how stupid that is when everything is digital (aka a number), but politicians haven't grasped that notion yet. Check the article 2 of the WIPO Copyright Treaty: http://www.wipo.int/treaties/en/ip/wct/trtdocs_wo033.html#P51_3806 Sorry, wrong discussion.
