US Senate hears royalty debate pitting Big Content vs Big Radio
"Under the current setup, commercial radio stations don't actually pay the performers anything for the use of their songs. Radio stations pay only songwriters for the music they play, while recording artists get nothing (except publicity). When music is delivered via webcasting, cable networks, and satellite radio, however, station owners need to pay both songwriters and recording artists. If this seems inconsistent to you, that's because it is."
Watch: Henry Rollins On Jungle Trance Hip Hop Fuckin’ Shit Music. Remixed. [Hilarious!!]
