Traditionally, I'm a big radio fan. Now, not so much. What satisfied in the past is rarely achieved via the RF spectrum today. NPR and a local college station meet my needs but I have to go to the Internet for the musical variety and depth I seek.

Now, Internet broadcasts may be largely at risk. The criminal music pirates, the record industry, the RIAA and Congress are destroying music broadcasting in America.

We need a system that rewards artists, enables companies to make a reasonable profit (or not), and allows customers the ability to enjoy the music they are willing to pay for in the manner they choose (without negating the first two principals.

Finally, is it really the case that the general public wants as many Country, Hip-Hop, Religious, Rock, and Talk broadcasts as we have now? I'm wondering because the changes seemed to coincide with the legislation that allowed more stations to be owned by each company. Also, despite technology advances in every other field it seems like FM has not moved forward and actually may sound worse now than ever.
