here's the link to the article....basically artists want to be paid royalties for airplay even if they weren't the writer....would love to hear your thoughts on this one...seems an uphill battle to me, an already struggling industry in a struggling global economy wants to charge radio more to play their song to hit status when they can't hardly sell enough advertising to keep their own doors open...wonder where BMI,ASCAP,SESAC stand on this issue? i'm sure the labels themselves would love to see it, maybe us writers should b*tch too and get a portion of every t-shirt sale that the big acts sell that has the name of our song on there  i really don't blame them for trying to make more money i just think right now is the wrong time to push it through...maybe just ask for bailout money instead mj http://new.music.yahoo.com/u2/news/complaint-says-top-musician-dissed-over-royalties--61989814
