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.

Blah blah blah... poor radio station. The radio Stations agrees to pay for the song. The music industry hasn't got a gun to their head. And although it may be a good way for artists to advertise thats not how a radio station get's money, they earn from advertisements so obviously they want to put on good music to get the most listeners not some random idiot who wants them to play his song.
