Screw the RIAA
I have always thought it absurd that ANY radio station has to pay to play somebody's music. When a radio station plays an artist, it promotes that artist and stimulates sales of that artist's work. But the RIAA is so greedy that it tries to get still more money out of airplay.
In the past, I have voluntarily contributed money to this station, because it went to AuralMoon; but I will NOT pay $5 a month because I do NOT want any of my money going to the RIAA. Pay that money and the RIAA wins.
My suggestion: delete all artists whose record companies are too stupid and/or greedy to see that they benefit from free airplay on AuralMoon. Like others here, I have bought CDs from artists (all on non-major labels) that I first heard here. I listen to AuralMoon to discover new music; if I need to hear "Close to the Edge" for the 1000th time, it's in my collection and I'll go play it myself.
The sooner the major labels go out of business, the better....
