Shady Backroom Deals
Back in the day when the RIAA was setting their sights on Internet Webcasting - there was a closed door meeting between Time-Warner/AOL and the finest of the RIAA that basically allowed them to continue offering services such as "Internet Radio".
While taking a huge cut from the bottom line for themselves that would be needed to run such an operation, they succeeded in placing the brunt of what would later become stiff licensing fees on the hobbyist broadcaster.
He who has a mass media corporation, all the money, and the largest market share of Online Internet communities under their belt - makes all of the rules.
This scathing insight comes from one cornered, and miffed wolfoxxy...who still has to pay out his monthly blood money fee to keep his Internet Radio station online...
EDIT: Web browser mangled my post, sorry.
