Steve — big fan of internet radio Yes. Part of doing that is making sure artist's can make a decent living so they can continue to contribute their works to society. Copyright law was put in place to make sure artists aren't being exploited. You think it's bad now with the record industry. You should have seen it before copyright law. The RIAA is like a rabid poodle compared to the bloodthirsty and savage animals they were before.
