i still dont see how they going to stop internet radio?
isnt YouToob and internet television more of a threat to these "corporate interests" than radio?

net radio can't be stopped. it may end up being pirate radio if anything though.
this very damaging to any independent net radio such as this one (which i listen to quite often): http://www.radioparadise.com
... also the RIAA has nothing to do with tv, as far as i know.
here's some more info:

I don't see how it's any threat to internet radio in it's current form.
Worst case scenario, they can extinct US web stations, but the 15 million other stations across the world is out of their juristiction...

What's the RIAA's purpose aside from spiting on free publicity and suing poor people?

major record labels are scrambling to hold onto as much of their music and keep money coming in because they are crapping themselves.
alan mcgee, the guy who signed primal scream/oasis and loads of other bands writes some interesting stuff on his myspace page about the demise of the large corporate record companies and their last minute panics to save themselves.
bands these days arent signing to these massive labels who take all their money.
it'll be the smaller indipendent labels that keep internet radio alive in the future. thats where a lot of the best and most exciting music is at anyways.

If not having internet radio (which I don't use) means more money to the artists (eveni if it has to go thru a record label first) then I say screw Internet radio. Wouldn't you all want to make as much money from your art as you could? What if your art was being distributed all over the world and hanging in people's homes and you werne't receiving a single penny for all of your hard work? Sorry but no support from me unless someone can give me a better arguement than "its free and we love it".
