From the perspective of a user of FOTA radio and TV, all I can do is marvel at
how self-destructive these media have become. It's sort of astonishing from
where I sit, and I can't even tell who the good guys are.
Since everything related to the business models of FOTA media seems to be
smoke, mirrors, perceptions, and irrational thinking (seems to me, anyway),
perhaps it's time for radio to attack back by levying a fee on the record
labels for every time they play one of their tunes. That would permit radio
stations to reduce the long minutes of ads they have made a habit of playing.
You know, it's like when Craig suggests that people want to pay the monthly fee
for cable. The record labels won't appreciate the service radio provides them,
unless they get soaked for it. So, soak them! Turn the tables on them.
