alleyinsider.com — Who says our elected officials can't get anything done? In addition to hammering out a $700 billion Wall Street bailout deal over the weekend, lawmakers extended a lifeline to Internet radio companies like Pandora, who are trying to lower the fees they're supposed to pay for streaming music rights.

Sorry, but I love Batman more than I hate the RIAA.

Is it weird that I want a way to scrobble my Pandora tracks on Last.fm?

I agree with you in theory... but I'm morally obligated not to purchase music associated with the RIAA, no matter how much I like it.

Perhaps in the future I should clarify... f**k the RIAA and their representative firms.

*ding* *ding* *ding* we have a winner! Same goes for shoutcast streams like radio paradise. These are great places to *advertise* your music. I've bought CDs based on hearing it on RP. Maybe require stations to buy the CD, or otherwise pay the artist. But that is ALL they should have to pay. They are getting the music out there. It's a service to the artists, really.

Because we as Americans are too complacent to do anything about it. (Yes, I wrote my Senator.)
