lol, it pays several times what we do to be allowed to play parts of a track at certain times of the day. they cant take it home, and they dont make copies, they have the one copy, and they play it to all of us as a sample of the musician. they are doing nothing more than being a sonic billboard.

Right. But if put up a ftp server with my mp3's, then effectively I have "one copy" and I am not the one making copies - the users are - just as the radio listeners would record to tape/minidisc,etc.
