[NewMusic] Internet radio fees

[Matt Davignon]

I'm sick of this phenomenon of the rules being changed as a direct
result of the artists aging, or the copyrights approaching their
expiration date.

For example, no matter what copyright law says right now, it will last
until the end of civilization, since Walt Disney company has congress
extend it each time Mickey Mouse is about to go into the public
domain.

With the RIAA, I'm still waiting for a mutiny, hoping for the point
when large amount of artists who are younger than the Rolling Stones
refuse to be associated with them. Or when radio stations stop playing
people with RIAA's high fees, and start playing people who create
music because they want folks to listen to it.
