Its always been looked at that Radio provided a promotional outlet for artist. Now they want to get paid for that promotion. All I see the musicians doing is shooting there own feet. The article is right when it says stations will move away from music. Another direction I can see is if a station wants to remain playing music is to go after the truly independent artist that hasn't signed any deals yet. Alomst having an individual contract with the artist. You supply your idependent music for us to play and no fees. Truly promoting the arist.

Will it ever get down to those of us that broacast our displays. I doubt it. I still think artist still appreciate the publicity and we don't make any revenue from what we do, so they are not looking at any pie pieces from us.

I think we have to worry more about the FCC, (the guys in Washington, not the Friends of Christmas Carolina) coming after us first.
