Somewhat unrelated, but in many cities you can watch a live performance of the Met in a big screen movie house on saturday afternoon, or a replay on Sunday.

The RIAA should take notice of what happens when you embrace the internet and technology.

With the digital sound and the speaker systems’ you can purchase today really adds to the listening quality of classical music.

Been listening ever since I purchased my first P/C.

Thank God for the internet. I always freep listening to classical music provided by AOL. I have my choice of many types of classics from opera to romantic classical. It's great.....and very soothing when typing about issues of the day on FR.

For several years, national public television was providing operas, concerts and ballets by the greatest stars, now there's barely anything on its cable anymore. The classic musical performing arts genre has turned exclusive again TV-wise.

But the internet has helped by providing inclusion for many of the arts-starved masses who enjoy the classical arena.

No; Classical Music was never a vehicle for the Market-Promoter type of profit creation as you have in printing and movies and common rock&roll. Very little of the classical program is still under copyright (although specific performers renditions may be) so that you can garner a copy and perform it, either alone or by a group, with no RIAA or ASCAP thieves looking for their cut. This allows not only the performance as written, but modification and extension as you see fit. The legislative screwing around with the copyright laws is one of the driving forces to its expansion, and that's a good thing.

There are lots of 'stations' on the web; here's WCPE - ClassicalStation.org ^ that has RealPlayer, WinMedia, Ogg Vorbis, MP3, and QuickTime streams.
