Liam said: Len, your arguments were made when radio came along, that it would end concerts and music and there would be no more musicians, and it was as short-sighted then as it is now. A very knowledgeable industry insider replied, Liam: "The broadcasters were persuaded to share their advertising revenue with the music community, one of the things that led to what might now be looked at as a golden age of music in this culture. Google bills about thirty billion dollars a year in advertising. Ten percent of their searches are music related. (Music is the second ranked search category after the weather.) Google shared none of that revenue with the community who drove ten percent of their traffic. Not to mention that they link to and sell advertising on pirate sites They really want to starve us out. The revenge of the nerds, starting with that guy at Napster. Odd that the target of their wrath would be the arts. Sciences' war on the Arts." len
