| RIAA has NO Artists Interest It is clear to me that the RIAA has no artists' interest and NO artist should support the RIAA. As an avid listener of Pandora this is terrible and very unfair. Internet radio WAS the future, why do they need to pay more in royalties? What a loss for music lovers and a loss for new artists trying get heard! |

It's called capitalism, and it is the keystone of American's greatness. Internet radio can be the future if listeners would be willing to make it worthwhile. But no: Listeners don't patronize advertisers enough to make Internet broadcasting worthwhile.
Instead of lashing out at good folks doing their job RIGHT, why not take responsibility for your own actions, and for the actions of all other listeners? Listeners will be the only ones to blame if Internet broadcasters go under. |

It's NOT capitalism, only an idiot can't see the difference between market force and corporate-corrupt legislation and its anti-competitive outcome.
This story is a shining example what's broken in the US for decades now.

No, listeners don't want to finance such an ILLEGAL MOB like RIAA/MPAA/etc - I still wait for the first RICO-case to be presented against this mob, with a properly prepared team.
It's only a matter of time, don't worry.

Like WHO? RIAA who does NOT REPRESENT ANYONE EXCEPT THE MIDDLEMEN, the bloodsucking studios, whose staff - thanks God - dropping faster than flies now?
We do not need the MIDDLEMEN. We need the artists and they can contract their distribution with any website or independent label or do their own distrib - NOBODY NEEDS Jack Valentis, these disgusting parasites (I know, he's dead already but still, he was always a classic disgusting Hollywood worm) .

What a load of BS. RIAA HAS NO RIGHT TO FORCE THEM OUT, period. They are a criminal enterprise now. --

 | Lets take the "Un-Ameircan" cable news network level discourse elsewhere. |

I believe in honor and respect for the law and for property rights. It is a shame that you have no respect for anything other than your own personal wants. |
