web radio will die on october 20th.

there is a possible stay of execution, a vote on the 1st.
Please help.

The music monoliths are trying to assure their monopoly control of what YOU listen to. Fuck i hate big business. They are trying to use the courts to shut down smaller, independent stations.

oh shit. I thought the riaa had already banned or whathaveyou internet radio stations. is this jurisdiction for us only? or worldwide?

 

[the People's Champ]

coprended mende. I thought this was a banning for ALL radio stations, as I listen to from time to time, non mainstream stations. I could care less for mainstream music.

Personally i can't stand them and Metallica anymore. Screw 'em.

I have every Metallica song ever released...I downloaded them all after I saw Lars' hissy-fit. I will probably not buy another CD in my life (unless it is an independent). Thanks Metallica!

SAVE INTERNET RADIO.

FUCK THE CORPORATIONS.

IF RADIO GOES, I WILL JUST PULL EVERYTHING OFF OF THE OPENNAP. IF RADIO STAYS, I STILL HAVE A REASON TO BUY. THAT REASON BEING, I AM NOT ALREADY LISTENING TO A COPY THAT I HAVE ON DISK...

I hope this bill doesnt get passed but...

They put that into an anti terrorism bill so odds are it will get passed which is fucking bullshit.

A professor of mine was telling us they are going to charge internet radio (along with colleges might I add), 20,000 $$$ a year I believe.....which is outrageous b/c I dont even think they make that much in a year....same with colleges

I wish they would do something though,about about the fuckin' monopoly that ClearChannel has become. Which is the reason radio sucks ass these days, and all I listen to are CDs in my car anymore

i've heard mettilicrap is putting out a new album next year. I"m sooo going to just dl that thing and spread it. That'll get 'em back for me wasting $18 on that piece of junk Reload album, which i can't even return after i played it once and listened to how horrible it was.

Money i will never get back..

I download all my music now. I pay my dues....$50.00/month to my cable company to have ultra high speed downloads of my favorite music.

The record companies are getting what they deserve. $15.00/cd a rip off. Most of the time half the Album sucks. For instance look at the new Eminem....You buy the CD thinking theres a lot of good songs on there. After taking away those skits he has, then some of those songs that are just stupid beats he keeps looping over and over,AND a song that is played twice on the same album, you are left with maybe 6 good songs. And I paid $14.00 for the CD. I like Eminem so I will support him but thats just an example of the crap the record companies sell and expect us to buy. Not worth the money it costs, not when I can download the whole cd in 5 minutes and burn it in another 10.
I figured out the only way it would be a better value to go buy the cd for $14.00 instead of spending the 15 minutes burning it would be if I made more than $56.00/hour...I dont make over $112,000 a year so I will just burn my stuff for now on...
