"I don't have a probelm with them paying for mthe rights on the music"Fair enough - if regular radio stations have to then internet radio wouldn't be any different.
"what I wanna know is will they get free music like the big stations do ((promos?) After all, if fair is fair..."
True, but in trying to make an apples to apples comparison....
Wouldn't an internet radio station have a lower operating cost than a traditional radio station? Anyone with a PC could do it. No building to rent, no antennas to buy or maintain, etc.. Just a thought...

Anyone with a PC can do it, but the bandwidth costs are massive - you can't get a big enough connection into your home to serve many people. I run a large internet site myself and I could do it from a linux server in my home easily if only I could get a big enough "pipe" to handle all the incoming requests. But since I can't, I have to house a server at a major data centre with massive bandwidth - costs many thousands per month, and I'm serving a lot less data to each customer than even a single 128k song.
