This is another slap against inventive free marketing. No entertainers were harmed in this veritable venture, in fact most offered their services for a simple request...a possible recognition of their musical capabilities beyond the physical borders of the islands.

These folks aren't asses like Metallica's hard core whiners. They would simply like others to enjoy a bit of Hawaiiana. Is that so much to ask?

Not enough bad stuff can happen to the people in the RIAA.

It is a black day for the ukelale -- or however you spell it.

Someone straighten me out. Do these fees apply to music not controlled by the riaa? If i webcast music that the riaa has no right to exercise control over, do I owe them anything?

If this is the riaa's music, then its their blasted decision on what to charge, no matter how stupid or self-defeating it is. But is this hawaiian music you guys are mentioning under riaa jurisdiction?
