Re: Will internet broadcasters actually follow up this time?
The most important voice, NPR, will. And I'm sure, will represent ALL the public stations.
BTW, why are your avatars so...obnoxious? Does it reflect...  |

Perhaps your NPR station is different, but mine usually plays all classical music in the public domain that requires no royalties be paid.

I may need to listen more, I enjoy the classical music, but when the talk shows come on, it almost puts me to sleep. Their "content" isn't bad per se (I'm politically right leaning and if you didn't know it NPR is traditionally left leaning), it's informative at times, but the delivery???  Who wants to listen to a monotone delivery with a complete lack of emotion.. They should not be so stoic in their delivery and at least pretend that what they are talking about affects them emotionally.

Dump NPR. Taxes pay for it. With all the news out there, why do with need a taxpayer paid station? Only news rejects work there. Considering how bad CNN's ratings are, how hard is it to land a job there? NPR is a taxpayer rip-off. |

These are not royalties on the work itself; they are royalties on public performance of those works. So unless the station is performing the work using their own orchestra or are playing a public domain recording, of which there are few, then the RIAA will be in the station's pockets rummaging around for what amounts to the yearly budget for some.

You don't have to watch Fox. You can watch CNN to the death. You and the other 3 people.  |
