Sony Agrees to Stop Payola

Posted by timothy on from the restoring-radio-virginity dept.

dsginter writes "Sony BMG Music just reached agreement with New York Attorney General. Sony spokesman John McKay admitted that the practice was 'wrong and improper' but the company engaged in the activity anyway. They were fined $10 million and have agreed to obstain from the practice in the future. Is this the first step toward getting our airwaves back or is this just a slap on the wrist?"

    I don't feel like relating the story of why I have it here.

    Anyway, you should know about misleading names :-)
