According to RIAA radio broadcasting is piracy

Remember there was a time when the music labels paid the radio stations to promote their music? Well, check this out http://blog.wired.com/27bstroke6/2008/06/recording-indus.html

Broadcasting music without payment is akin to piracy, the industry says.

"It's a form of piracy, if you will, but not in the classic sense as we think of it," said Martin Machowsky, a musicFirst spokesman. "Today we gifted them a can of herring, about their argument that they provide promotional value. We think that's a red herring. Nobody listens to the radio for the commercials."

*rolls eyes* You've got to be kidding me.  How is a SMALL radio station any different than listening to music with friends in a house?  Especially if you bought the music. PS: If the commercials are good I'll listen, but on real stations; I do change the station.
