Legit stations, anyway.

Here's one vote that The Pirate Bay branches out into net radio.

Someone in Congress is apparently trying to undo it. Good luck.

There is a lot of music I purchased after first discovering it on net radio.

I'll never listen to any of the local Clearchannel stations.

So I guess that's it.

Once I discovered XM, I stopped listening to the radio and mostly listened to sports, talk, and comedy.

Now I have a radio with an AUX port and listen to podcasts and such exclusively. If the RIAA decides they now want me to not hear new music via that route, then I guess they're asking me to never buy one of their products ever again and I will honor their request.

Eh, I'm not worried. This won't change much of anything. Wait and see.

This isn't like pirate radio... net IP's are sort of easy to trace.

Well, it is kind of like pirate radio.

No problem, do your tunes through a server offshore. Problem solved. At least until the RIAA starts to hire Mercs to take down servers overseas.

Like I said... I'm rooting for The Pirate Bay.
