Will Clear Channel Ever Learn?
It's amazing that Clear Channel doesn't choke to death on its own stupidity.
Take this report for example. It tells all about Clear Channels latest attempts to fuck indie artists out of their royalties.
I'm sorry, but when the FCC busts you for payola, and says that as punishment you have to pony up some airtime for indie artists, (an overly reasonable and unpainful punishment, if you ask me) then you don't turn around, and force indie artists to sign away their rights to royalties before playing them!
No. Clear Channel, you don't get to put stipulations, addendums, conditions or riders on punishments imposed by the FCC. That would be like showing up for Community Service drunk, or paying for a speeding ticket with merchandise of "equivalent value".
No! Bad Clear Channel! Bad!
Anyway, I hear the FMC has some plans to make your stupidity famous. I can't wait to see what they have in store for you...
KTHXBYE,
