"Want to Kill HD Radio?"

"Let's say that radio companies have to start paying royalties on the
music that they play. Even if it is a flat percentage of all revenue
like other outlets are going to be charged, HD Radio streams would do
nothing more than serve to drive up royalty payments for NAB members.
The overwhelming majority of terrestrial listeners ARE NOT listening
to HD Radio. Ads on HD Radio will be dirt cheap for a very long time.
The HD streams may not be able to cover royalty on music from ad
revenues. Do you think that Clear Channel will continue to pump money
in to HD Radio equipment, expanding services and coverage if the
payoff in the end is an INCREASE in copyright royalties and nothing
more?"

First, HD doesn't stand for high-definition, it stands for hybrid
digital, as you should know since you spend an awful lot of time
worrying about it.

Second, copyrights should be abolished. They act to suppress
creativiity rather than promote it, they go against nature, and they
violate the state prohibition against imposing religion because they
force the public to respect the sanctity of an immaterial concept.

Third, why the hell are you spamming this group, you worthless piece
of ****?

I believe that there should be copyrights/patents, but not with the sort of
force they now exist with.

For instance, a patent should only be good for say, five years. If you
think about it, technology changes so much in that amount of time that any
patent will long since have been superceded.

Ditto with copyright, at least for music. Maybe only a year or two on that.
If you think about it, 90% or more of all music is passe and very few people
care to listen to it after only a few months. Certainly the market drops off
sharply after that time. Some allowance should be made for composers and
artists ONLY to get per-play radio royalties, but the RIAA and the record
companies themselves should get no residuals past a cutoff point to be
determined by sales figures. i.e. when sales drop off to say, 1000 units a
month, royalties should go to only the artist and composer. Smarter people
than me could crunch the numbers better than me.
