Restraunts can no longer play the radio for customers nor can businesses let their employees listen to the radio (over company equipment at least! without paying royalties and/or broadcast fees here in the USA.
Aren't the trashy commercials that make up like half the radio time supposed to pay those royalities?

Yes, but the 'middlemen' (record industries) want their cut EVERY time a sale or transaction occurs ...or even every time a song is PLAYED!
If we don't FIGHT THEM, they WILL get their way!
This is VERY CLOSE to outright censorship of freedom of speech.

There is an answer to all this lunacy. We're all doing it. It's called civil disobedience! Remember the fate of Rockefeller's Standard Oil and the Railway Trusts of the 1800s - this is no different. Microsoft, the RIAA et al, will ultimately strangle on their own greed!

People what I heard is that radio stations have a contract or something very legal when comes to anyone and I mean anyone listening to music. I dont really remember where I heard it from eg. news, Mtv or somthing. But I know they wont go that far. But just incase just keep our eyes an ears peeled.
