random thought of the moment:
Freedom, as people enjoyed it in the democratic countries of Western civilization in the years of the old liberalism’s triumph, was not a product of constitutions, bills of rights, laws, and statutes. Those documents aimed only at safeguarding liberty and freedom, firmly established by the operation of the market economy, against encroachments on the part of officeholders. No government and no civil law can guarantee and bring about freedom otherwise than by supporting and defending the fundamental institutions of the market economy. Government means always coercion and compulsion and is by necessity the opposite of liberty. Government is a guarantor of liberty and is compatible with liberty only if its range is adequately restricted to the preservation of economic freedom. Where there is no market economy, the best-intentioned provisions of constitutions and laws remain a dead letter.

It seems AFL-CIO is buddy-buddy with those who oppose web radio. !@#$% UNIONS!!! I guess hosing the steel industry in the US wasn't enough damage for them.
Artists willing to kill webcasting for a check that may total $0?

"Apparently, the biggest potential block to HR 5469 - the bill that would have created a six-month delay and cooling off period - is the AFL-CIO objecting on behalf of recording artists. "
