Personally, I don't care what happens with "internet radio" which is not 
radio. Most of that is little setups people setup on their computers at home 
and get almost no listeners anyway so they could just as easy go underground 
and have no more problems. Why anyone would admit to owning rights to music 
put out these days is beyond me too but that's another story  lol.
