Music Industry Seeks Payola Inquiry

An Anonymous Coward writes "The big media story of the day seems to be that the RIAA, artists, and others in the industry are complaining that there are monopolies (such as Clear Channel) forming in the radio broadcast industry. The group is stating that the practice of "independent promotion" is really a new form of payola and that it is hitting the artists' bottom line directly." Another submitter writes in with another story on the subject and the industry's Joint Statement on Current Issues in Radio.

    Hey, at least it's better than the 78th daily article about the release of the 3.7.24.2 version of some windows manager 3 people use. But honestly, the *AA are really attempting to change the digital future, and it's sort of scary.
