7.5% is something to bitch at? That's the sales tax in my home town in California. Less than 10% expense to leech off a product to make money? What are internet radio "broadcasters" wanting out of this? Free content?
To be honest, I'm getting sick of the so-called innovators who are taking other people's work and property, making a "business" out of it, and then complaining when the true owner wants to be compensated.
Open a bakery store to sell your goods and see what you do when someone comes in and starts selling your bread and doesn't want to pay you for it.
All the government is being asked of / or doing is settling a dispute from where laws are unclear.. ie: doing their job for once.
7.5% is not unfair.
People often confuse theft with innovation...
They are not bitching about the 7.5%, they were bitching that the webcasters were to be required to pay 100% more than they are paying now under the old agreement.
