Hello Im still young in this industry but in my opinion in the regulation that happens in the internet by collecting a royalties per every spin sounds legal to me. The benefits are directly to the artist and the internet is the new wave of the future where accurate accounting for every songs can easily be trace. There is no sampling procedures that the present collecting societies ussually do. If someone blocks this collection scheme, the history of screwing artists will repeat again and the intellectual property rights vested to every people with extraordinary gift will turns into a useless law.

I dont know what is the consequences of the new rulings maybe the listeners in internet radio will decrease because they will shoulder the cost imposed to the internet radio provider. Then they will resort to other ways like Peer to peer file sharing.

Oh my.. We have no way to get even nowadays. Only the big name in the industry still monopolize everything
