The real villains here are two-fold. First, there are the five major recording companies and their mouthpiece, the RIAA, who set up the rules. Second, the FCC that removed limitations on station ownership, resulting in a few large companies, such as Clear Channel, that now control the “public” airwaves. The result is two de facto monopolies–the record companies and the few radio station owner companies–who control the system, insist on the use of old profit models, eliminate capitalism and competition, pay no attention to local needs, and basically screw the real sources of their massive income, the musicians, who are veritable slaves to this anti-democratic system.
