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

themselves ?!?
