First of all, radio plays music all day long. The advertisers pay to get their wares talked about and they pay the stations for that.
So, why the hell would I buy a Jonas Brother song(dear god I wouldn't!) if the freaking thing is being played in heavy rotation at the behest of the music industry that is still doing PAYOLA? I love music, and I buy from itunes all the time and a 30 sec clip ain't nothing compared to the all day blitz of radio. Hell, you can record off of radio. And that leads me to my next point.
Second and most important, the music biz should have never utilized the tech guys gadgets knowing full well that a RECORDABLE device associated with the medium at which the music content is stored would be made available to the general public. They screwed themselves.
If the music industry truly want control over their stuff, they should adopt a proprietary medium for their content and a proprietary unit to play it on. Along with proprietary speakers, cable etc. NOT GOING TO HAPPEN!!!!!!!
Too little too late. The music biz drank the kool aid and have ventured into the rabbit hole. A long time ago!!!!!!
