"Labels to Net Radio: Die Now: You’d think the record companies would love Internet tunes—instead they’re trying to kill them." ... "The apparent irony is that Webcasting seems like something that the record labels would want to nurture, not smother in the cradle. There’s no Napster problem: Web radio uses streaming technology—real-time transmissions that can’t easily be downloaded and stored. Just like real radio, it’s free exposure for artists, especially ones that have difficulty getting air time in the cookie-cutter world of FM radio. And Webcast listeners find it easy to buy what they like: musical cuts are clearly identified, and often there are direct links to allow an instant CD purchase." -By Steven Levy 20020715 ed. -MSNBC /-Newsweek

According to people with knowledge of the matter, two of the strongest backers of the tough tactics have been the biggest music companies, the recording units of Vivendi Universal SA and Sony Corp." -By Anna Wilde Mathews and Bruce Orwall -WSJ.com via -MSNBC
