Take a good look at the three pictures, and guess which one is the pirate:
If you picked "C," you’re on the same page as musicFIRST spokesperson, Martin Machowsky, who was quoted as saying that broadcasting music without payment is "a form of piracy."
So, first the RIAA goes after 14 year-olds who download music. Now, radio is a form of piracy?
These guys are getting more desperate and illogical by the day.
AAARRRGGGHHH!!!!

What about all the free plays on MySpace and Facebook? There are many bands that average 10,000+ spins per day. Maybe each MySpace user should have to set-up a PayPal account and every time they click a song it subtracts 5 cents.
Maybe radio should set up a sales plan for band mentions? Every time the DJ front-sells or back-sells a song, it should cost the band/label because radio shouldn’t be giving out mentions for free.
It’d be fun to see the reaction on the record labels face when they got a bill from the radio station. Don’t forget to charge interest!
Also, each time you play a song, the standard spot rates should apply. So don’t forget to charge for that as well.
