RIAA Wants Public Radio to Pay Royalties

· devz3ro on May 28 2007 12:48:08

By Tuan Nguyen

The air waves may no longer be free

Recent studies show that sales of music have actually increased over the last several years despite arguments from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) that online MP3 sharing negatively impact sales. Thus, the RIAA has been desperately trying to seek out a new source of revenue and it believes its found one: public radio.

The RIAA says that radio has been given free play time for too many years, and when compared to other sources of revenue, is unfair. Yet, it's not only the RIAA that thinks the new royalty program is justified. Mary Wilson, one of the original members of the Supremes agrees too.

"After so many years of not being compensated, it would be nice to now at this late date to at least start. They've gotten 50-some years of free play. Now maybe it's time to pay up," says Wilson. According to Wilson, the exemption given to public radio was unfair and forced many musicans to continually go on tour for money.

RIAA chief executive Mitch Bainwol indicates that music creation is suffering a decline in sales, attributing most the loss to gaps in revenue. "We clearly have a more difficult time tolerating gaps in revenues that should be there," says Bainwol.

The National Association of Broadcasters (NAB) disagrees with the RIAA, claiming that public radio benefits all parties. "The existing system actually provides the epitome of fairness for all parties: free music for free promotion," says NAB president David Rehr. Public radio stations agree too, that having a royalty "tax" would cause serious financial harm to radio stations.

Unfortunately for public radio, the music industry appears to be lobbying its stance in a very strong manner. SoundExchange, the group that collects and distributes Internet and satellite radio music royalties, feels that royalties have now become a necessity. SoundExchange already forces webcasters to pay royalties for music played.

"The time comes that we really have to do this," says John Simson, executive director for SoundExchange.

In addition, wow power leveling Blizzard has also included a small number of class changes and

change that I know pet collectors everywhere will love - Pet Bombling and Lil' wow power levelingSmoky (the Engineering-

required non-combat pets) are no longer Bind-on-Pickup! Now our aion power level fellow engineers (or

skilled alts) can make these lovable little explosives for any non-Engineer's collection!aion powerlevelingBlizzard have also completely revised the way Holiday bosses (such as Lord Ahune, aion

powerleveling Coren Direbrew, the Headless Horseman) are handled. Players will now be required to use the Dungeon Finder to queue up for these special

event cheap aion power leveling bosses via an NPC dialog option. Upon defeating the boss,

players will each receive a single loot cache containing a rare, "special" seasonal item. Players will be able
wow power leveling to kill the boss for his other drops as many times as they'd like, but can only

receive one of these seasonal goodie bags per day. Looks like buy wow gold the days of endlessly farming

these seasonal bosses for hours on end trying to get their rarest drops (like a Great Brewfest Kodo or, more recently, Big Love Rocket) are over!

If there wow power leveling is one thing that really defines me as a WoW player, it's my admiration for the paladins and forces of wow power leveling the Light. This being said, I can't go away without mentioning wow power leveling one very special name: Alexandros Mograine, the Ashbringer. I wow power leveling should probably toss Tirion Fordring in there too, but Mograine is the one I wanted to talk about aion power level today.
If you browse online WoW comics, aion powerleveling there is one particular comic you might have noticed lately - Daily Quests. It's a relatively buy wow gold new comic that I really enjoy - it's very entertaining, and aion kinah the quality of the art is better than what you normally see in online comics. It's not updated as much as aion power level I would want, but I think it's normal to keep you wanting more and wow gold uk more of something you enjoy a lot. After all, Looking for Group is merely updated twice a week, and I think that's not often enough either
