From: open mike this mey be accessed more by u.s. listeners now that internet radio here has been squelched by a ruling which requires stations to pay royalties. This has prohibited many stations from being able to broadcast at all. some have reduced to playaing only material which they them selves have taped live with the artist permission...many have ceased to play commercial recordings all together...the original intent was that the artists should be compensated for their music, but as it happens, their music is being stifled by not being played, and the record co. execs. and music biz middle men are getting most of the benefit from the new fees. many streaming audio service are freebies and have no money to pay the royalties...mercy, this is a predicament... |
