Rates for online radio

Online radio heard in Congress. Webcasters and the recording industry go head-to-head at a Senate hearing over a proposed royalty rate for online radio. [CNET News.com] via [The All Electric Media Weblog]

Listening in the past strangles the future. The problem with this silly story is the presumption that playing old, recorded music is a good thing. It is not. Every time an old favorite is played, some new music is not played.

Why not encourage new music by, say, making the royalties for old stuff prohibitively high? Make room for new voices.
