So much for Internet Radio..

The point of the matter is they shouldn't have to pay them shit. Does this record time spent on a song?

What if I hear 30 seconds of a song and decide it's shit and disconnect, do they still have to pay for the whole song I decided not to listen to?

Corporate cocksuckers need to stay the fuck out of it.

I think I've bought approximately 50+ CDs directly due to file sharing. I wouldn't have found the music otherwise. Before that I bought like 4-5 in my entire lifetime. *shrug*

I largely think this RIAA stuff is insane, they're money grubbing lawyers for the most part - but I can respect artists wanting/getting royalties for playing their work or wishing for their work not to be shared *IF* they themselves actually want that.

It seems like (unless you're a mega-giant band like Metallica, Brittney Spears, whatever) any increased exposure of your music means more people going to your concerts, buying your T-shirts, ect - which is where the money is.

I am a member of that Live365 site that Arlos pointed out. I listen to it here at work constantly. Great site, you should try it~
