We don't get any money. That's what makes the whole internet fee thing so maddening. I was talking to Avian this past weekend and worst-case scenario we'll play independents.

I've said before, this is not my fight. it's the artists. They've already begun to coalesce and some even have waivers to let the stations play music.

All I mean is that in this situation it would accomplish nothing. Live365 has a different agenda. And all it would do would be to get us in the news for a day.

jt's point about 'doing without" is excellent. didn't think of that...
