Don't let them Destroy Internet Radio

Competitive capitalism was showcased in the 1950's and 1960's pop music industry. There were many startup groups, studios and record companies. As a result, some of the best music in history was performed and recorded during that time.

Rock began as a protest against what was wrong with the status quo. This is largely why it became so popular. Gradually, however, the industry congealed and corporatized and its originally progressive ideas got watered down and subdued; and the original messages of Peace, Love and "Improve the World" gradually degraded into "In the End, It doesn't really Matter". This is because the message of corporate, monopolized art is inherently cynical and anti-people, and pro-oppression. The same pattern can be observed with Rap Music.

The Internet affords an opportunity to reverse this trend, unless the moneyed interests entrenched in organizations such as the RIAA and CRB succeed in monopolizing internet Radio the way they have devastated the recording and radio broadcast industries.

Oppose them.
