Sony Agrees to Stop Payola

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?"

Of course, I'm offtopic, but, please, moderators, try to understand that this is a discussion forum, and we come here to discuss, not to be insulted when we respond to one of our interlocutors by being moderated down. Please moderate up what you think is worth rewarding, but stop being assholes and mod down everything that doesn't fit your perfect day of wasting time on slashdot (myself included).

Too many moderation points. One of the reasons I gave up moderation.
