Just because you can break the copyright laws by recording a radio broadcast doesn't mean you can do the same on the internet. The radio station PAYS to play those songs. It ain't free. The RIAA also has a dim view of magnetic tape media. DAT anyone?
As for the cd costs, I agree with you. The recording industry is really sticking it to the consumer here. I hate buying cd's from one-hit radio bands because the other tracks on the cd are usually a lot worse than the one that gets the radio play. So I am stuck paying 15 bucks for a cd with only one song that I like! Yikes! I like the idea a free forum to preview songs and new artists without having to rely on radio or tv to filter content.
Too bad the RIAA and Napster can't both lose.
