OK, follow me here: The performers don't get royalties when the stuff is played on the internet. So it doesn't get played and they don't get royalties.

That's smart, just cut off a potential source of income completely. I mean, people aren't going to buy the stuff off the shelves, especially if they've never heard of it. But if it's on the web, they might run across it by accident.

I can picture it now. A bunch of guys in funny hats, with snazzy whiskers all parked in their buggys along Lancaster Pike singing and dancing to the Hawaiian War Chant. Then one falls in love with a pretty girl wearing a bonnet and the next thing you know they are singing the Hawaiian Wedding Song with a German accent. Just wishful thinking on my part, but I do enjoy Hawaiian music.

We're talking Hawaii here. Some of these folks are ass-kikkin. Pacific Blues, comedy, Serious Slide...

But that's not the primary point. It is that any of these guys with servers, from Hawaii to Detroit are going to be TAXED again.

It's about the government taxing every body from womb to tomb.

If ya have any initiative or creative processes, the F*ing government want some of, if not all of it.

If they cannot get money out of someone, regardless of how small, then shut them down.
