Who has historically resorted to illegal means to "buy" airtime on radio? Has any of the legislators heard of Payola? So now they want to get paid for something they have tried to illegally buy in the past? Is this the Bizzaro World?
Radio broadcasters should be joining together with Pandora and Sirius XM to pursue the strategy suggested here:

The downloading public should be on our side, and it's hard for Washington to ignore millions of voices.
Ah...but you don't understand.
Their view is that radio is run by "greedy corporations" and the "greedy rich"...thus, radio has plenty of wealth to be "spread around", or redistributed.
What's funny in all this is that the people who are yelling and screaming for this as a sense of "fairness", are artists who have the financial abilities right now to buy and sell most of us...and even a few radio companies several times over. Sadly, that's the game that's being played in D.C. right now.
