streaming royalties (Score 1)

musicians wouldn't have fans without radio. radio wouldn't be without musicians. one hand must wash the other. i think music should be free to hear. i think if you want to see the band perform, replay the music repeatedly, or wear their name on a shirt it shouldn't be free (unless the artist give the thumbs-up.) seems to me that if a station is making money off music, they artist is part of that equation and should be part of that profit. yet, if there's no profit, the artist is still gaining in fame and probably selling product. would that mean reverse royalty? nah. that would be TOO crazy.
