“Fairness in radio starting today”
http://www.musicfirstcoalition.org/

Oh please … radio offers huge promotional benefits to both artists and labels. This has been the understanding and arrangement for many year. Now, major labels are seeing CD sales slipping (due to crap product, IMHO). Their method of adapting is to attempt to squeeze cash from where ever they can no matter who else it hurts. To me, this is the equivalent of advertisers asking for TV or magazines to pay them for the privilege of displaying their fine ads.

I create and sell music, so I’m “supposed” to think this is great. This is no fairness in my opinion. This is just the RIAA and Co. changing the rules to suit themselves and I want no part of it!
