VCL (Voluntary Collective Licensing) is a theoretical solution for the problem of software piracy that would harness the power of file sharing technologies. The idea is to make file sharing networks subscribe-only for a small fee and then distribute the collected money among the artists based on the popularity of their work. It is endorsed by the EFF and Downhill Battle.
