I can't believe they would allow this merger that would create the the biggest cable company on the PLANET. YES.. >THE PLANET. And then turn down the DirecTV vs Dish Network Merger. Clearly, we know what side the government is on..
...The real questing burning in my mind is what it would do to stations like Japan-A-Radio who don't play any american music. We do however play some english versions of the same tunes, and we do know that some of it is licensed in the U.S. Most recently, Disney picked up 'Spirited Away'. How would this affect Japan-A-Radio?
Japan-A-Radio plays the best in Japanese Pop and Japanese Anime Music from Movies, TV Series, and more. you can find it at: http://www.japanaradio.com
With the CARP ruling, I am disgusted. How do they plan to retrieve these funds, and make sure things are correct? How can you invade online people's privacy with requiring them to fill out tons of information just to listen to your webstation? Traditional radio doesn't have this. Neither should Internet radio. This is a ploy to kill off all the webcasting business so that they can have their own sites to DOWNLOAD MUSIC from. What they fail to realize is, Internet radio is not Napster. We PROMOTE artists by playing their music. This in turn, sales CD's. Is the RIAA so blind as to not be able to seperate File Sharing vs. Internet Radio? Japan-A-Radio doesn't play any U.S. Artists. All of the music is foreign from Japan, with exception of a few remixes. Does this CARP ruling come down on a station like this? How would it affect us, who primarily does not play RIAA music?
I'm very disappointed in Hilary Rosen, and the entire RIAA group. They started out as a standards group. Now that they don't have any standards that they maintain like they did with the actual vinyl records, they're hurting for money, because they didn't keep up with the times and technology.. Whose fault is that? That is the RIAA's fault. That is why they've lost money. Trying to extort people for your mistakes is wrong, dishonorable, and foolish. You shouldn't bite the hand that feeds you, RIAA. That's right. We FEED you. We buy your artists' products, therefore, payment goes to you, which is distributed through out all of the people at RIAA who drives around in brand new Mercedes vehicles and probably has families of their own. Are you really willing to rob Peter to pay Paul? Are you willing to steal from their children's mouths because you are so greedy to live your 'lush' lifestyle that you do not want to change? RIAA. It's over. You're going to lose either way. Stop fighting. You're only making it harder for yourself.
