I understand. The music business is brutal. They see .music as a way to
limit piracy and educate on the evils of piracy.

In any case, I brought the idea up simply because it IS something to be
considered. Not necessarily a dealbreaker but definitely something we
should think about :)

Basically, I am wary of trying to get TLDs that are clearly already
trying for ICANN space. :)
