Claire - this is so clearly one of those baby/bathwater deals that the record industry goons seem incapable of NOT making (double negative, sorry) - it just amazes me. Why the heck not pick a reasonable rate for a reasonable quality (somewhat lo-fi) of recording and agree to expand the audience? I don't always stream, but I do use it moderately often (lastFM is my hangout) and it just gets me interested in music that I end up buying...

Tom, what makes me mad (in an incredibly naive way, I know), is that is unfair because terrestrial radio stations do not have to pay royalties at all.
There's a House bill in committee right now to make things equitable between online and terrestrial radio stations. Gaper's Block, a Chicago blog, has good coverage of it here. I'm calling my rep to try and get her to support it.

You really have point.. Today.. you can easily download a song even the new ones in the internet.. this will not help our artist and the industry..
