Agony on two fronts!

Wow that's dumb.... It's not like most patients like the music that's being played anyway, so it might actually be better if they didn't play those CDs.
But really, what of those who do get the CD for use in the office, and wouldn't buy it otherwise? They'd really prefer to get
less money than have a patient actually ask what the music was (on the off chance they liked it) and buy their own copy of the CD?

Thats stupid. Will they collect royalties now for playing music in bars, elevators, etc?
Man, when will the madness stop?

When we've razed the planet and no life can sustain itself here. Assuming we were all here when said events happened.

Crap like this almost makes me wish someone would blow up RIAA headquarters. I hate the music industry and all it statnds for. Greed, oppression, and other various filth.

They already do here. It's quite the racketeering job they have going on. However playing the radio is legal, so a lot of places do that instead.

Here in Denmark, the organization that stands for collecting royalties have discovered a new milch cow to exploit.
Arobic classes that plays tapes/CD's as part of the excercise program!

Marching Bands?

That's dumb. Why don't they just play a radio station? I thought they did that in the first place.

Radio stations have annoying things such as commercials.

Hmmm, so you can charge royalties for a song played off a CD, but the exact same song on the radio is free? I guess it's just a matter of time. The next step will be attaching meters to your ears to determine how many copyrighted songs you're downloading. Please, someone, just kill them...

Since we are in a democracy, cant we organize and voice our concerns and call for the RIAA to stop? This isnt freedom, this is harrasment.

Since when has that stopped anyone from trying to make a (dis)honest, (un)earned buck?

The radio station is actually paying royalties for being able to play the song, so while it's free for the people listening, it is actually getting paid for.
That's their logic anyway.

By that logic, wouldn't the person who bought the CD have already paid for the royalties, thereby making it free for anyone who wanted to listen to it? According to these nutjobs, apparently not
