Uh, you know the RIAA and record companies are trying to destroy Internet radio, right?
Property rights typically isn't a liberal issue.
They fail to realize that the reason they are losing market is that the state of music is crap nowadays along with the music.
Maybe, but they can still fight what is theft of their product.
Further, radio stations have been taken over by corporations who are restrictive that there is no longer freedom of music. Blame the PC but it looks like high time to break the monopoly of corporation on how they control radio markets. With the Internet, musicians can now control and sell their music instead of through the bloodsucking studio/label corporations. Internet radio once broadband is prevalent should give them outlet to play and market their music.
An artist is free to sell his or her music to whomever. They can sell it to a small company, or they can sell it to a multinational media company. But like it or not, multinational media companies typically have much better advertising and distribution than small companies. If you don't like the music, or you think it's too expensive, then don't buy it. But don't justify stealing it because it's too expensive. That's never really a good argument.
