In the United States, radio airplay pays nothing to performers, so it
is just plain wrong.  (It only pays songwriters, composers and
publishers.)

This is why Allofmp3 isnt paying artists.  It is through a confusion in
law as to whether Internet downloads count as radio or purchase.

(The US has different fees for Internet Radio, like Live365, than for
over-the-air: ironically license fees for an Internet-Only radio
station are substantially higher than a broadcast radio station.)
