And that used to be available to me FOR FREE online

Some were, some weren't.

, until MLB forced the radio stations to yank their feeds offline in order to take advantage of a whole new way to gouge their fans.

Just out of curiousity - how much of whatever it is that you produce do make available for free to anyone that wants it?

Don't try to spin this as MLB graciously offering something that did not already exist without charge.

I'm not. I'm saying that they're taking something that they produce and hold the rights to, and rather than letting random people give it away in various places, they're making it available at a very reasonable price. If you don't want the service, don't pay for it. If you don't think it's worth what they're charging, don't pay for it. I just get tired of leftist whining whenever anyone wants to charge a fee for something that they're producing. And to call $19.95 for every Major League Game "gouging" - well, as I said, I think that's just whining.
