Re: Killing off the little guy (this time it\'s internet radio)
The question is, how would this be different without a government??
A private group (the RIAA) produces most of the music that people want, because they can afford to hire the best writers, equipment, performers, and distort promotions through shops they own and friends in the big media. These are all private companies.
Some of their buddies in the private media industries decide that they want to kill off small radio. So the RIAA decides they will require crippling royalties off startup radio stations, effectively killing them. At present, government is the only thing in their way. Now the government chooses not to intervene in the market, and you complain?? WTF????
Please explain precisely how this a government specific problem. How exactly is this problem solved under AC again?
