| It's the cost of doing business.
I don't get it. The cost of doing business is increasing, so everyone's upset? If you can't make enough money to pay the overhead, get out of the business. If you don't care about making money, then find some free content. If the free content doesn't attract the listeners you want, then again, you're in the wrong business.

Your outlook on this is quite odd. Have you ever owned a business?

Never owned a business, but I'm in one where the cost goes up enormously ever quarter. It sucks, but you have to compensate somehow.

| Well then, imagine the business you're in receiving a bill for all of 2006 amounting to 3-10 times your total gross revenue, simply because one of your vendors, who you've been faithfully paying under a negotiated agreement for five years, decides you didn't pay enough.
Then, imagine that a court validates the bill, and sets a deadline 45 days out for you to pay up. All on the say-so of the vendor. And by the way, you also owe for January 1, 2007 through today, at an even higher rate. And also by the way, the vendor operates the price-setting apparatus with no oversight whatsoever.
This is basically what's going on here.
