This sucks, but not as bad as they are saying

Sure it sucks that they couldn't play music associated with the RIAA and junk. But they could probably play music from the local bands. This would be better for the community anyways. And why couldn't they just take the retarded mainstream music offline, and only have these useful college broadcasts like games and stuff that are so needed by everyone.

Listeners need to quit crying, and producers need to quit scurrying away like scared animals at the thought of having to change their content because of those DREADED COPYRIGHTS. Give me a break people. Alternative content exists.
