Because of copyright laws, broadcasters are charged for the use of any intellectual property protected by copyright (unless Fair Use can be applied), not just music.

That's my point, intellectual property is retarded. Music, movie, book, game, doesn't matter. A broadcaster, in my opinion, is free advertising. They put your track on the radio, people hear it and might buy your stuff. Instead the radio stations have to pay to advertise, so to speak. It's the wrong way around, it just doesn't make any sense.
Just like if I wanted to promote someone's book at a seminar or something. I'd have to pay the writer to read part of the book to the audiance or even show the graphic, while it's basically free advertising and if people like it they will buy it at the exit anyway.
