but an independent artist can't get played on a big scale without big friends that can push them to 1500 stations.

Okey doke... but that gets kinda wierd in the *next* generation of distribution, when "radio stations" aren't even the way people listen to music very much. Imagine a car radio that can listen to any Internet source on the fly, without commercials.

This stuff is only beginning. Like I tried to say at the start... I'm not arguing right or wrong, or what people have a right to, either the artist or the consumer. It's the basic business model that is breaking, like candlemakers at the advent of electric light.

Don't blame me, I'm just the messenger.
