I don't even see a problem with music royalties on Radio 1 - when Prague local radio broadcasts a Madonna song, instead of the million and a half people who are supposed to hear it in the Greater Prague area, damn near half a billion people can hear it on the satellite throughout Europe. And Radio 1 broadcasts to the entire world on Internet. But you never know, record companies might start getting as territory focussed as film studios. Any of you who have tried to download any music legally (and pay for it) from an online site like mycokemusic will know that because of copyright restrictions, you have to be resident in the UK. Oh, well, if they don't want my money, there are other sites were you can get it free.
