Pump. Up. The. . .

The Recording Industry Association of America is going to be in congressional hearings again soon. This time they are trying to get local radio station to pay them royalties. As usual, this comes off as pretty selfish on the part of the record labels, and one can see several reasons for their arguments being faulty. Have these guys ever been behind something that the average citizen stops and thinks, "Well, that sounds fair. The record companies deserve that."? I'm just waiting for the eventual collapse of the recording industry. I cant wait until all of music is disseminated by Myspace and street musicians.

If we ever needed Christian Slater to remind us about the virtue of free airwaves, that time is now.
