Hi: Here's an article, "Labels to Net Radio: Die Now"
http://www.msnbc.com/news/777023.asp?cp1=1
"My guess is that it's all about protecting their Internet-challenged 
business model. Their profit comes from blockbuster artists. If the 
industry moved to a more varied ecology, independent labels and artists 
would thrive--to the detriment of the labels, which would have trouble 
rustling up the rubes to root for the next Britney. The smoking gun 
comes from testimony of an RIAA-backed economist who told the government 
fee panel that a dramatic shakeout in Webcasting is "inevitable and 
desirable because it will bring about market consolidation.""

Makes the blood boil, as he quotes the number of webcasters hit, is 
10,000. Not sure where that number came from, but regardless, this is 
NOT right.
Thanks,
Tom Poe
