Can Internet Radio Survive?

He discusses some of the effects of the recent CARP recommendations (previously discussed on /. here). We all know the DMCA is bad, but this seems to be a particularly good example of where its broad nature is curbing reasonable web uses."

Excuse me? Do you instantly get modded up if you mention some sort of open license be it the GPL or this OAL?

Is this guy serious? Does he think that artist will sacrifice royalties and instead try to make a living by being on the road for all the months of the year that they aren't in the studio. Sorry I just don't see this happening at all for one major reason: royalties mean that a few months of work in the studio will continue to pay for years to come. It has worked for ages and will continue to work.

Mod me down if you must but I just though a bit of common sense needed to be thrown in.
