[BC] Certain Spots Blocked From The Internet

[Tom Dimeo]

Doesn't seem to me like anyone wins in the current situation. 
 Couldn't some kind of compromise be worked out between AFTRA 
and the radio station or network.

Then, it never made sense to me that a station should have to 
pay the RIAA for playing music.  If anything, it seemed to me 
it should have been the other way around, because the station 
was giving exposure to the music and causing people to go out 
and buy it.
