I don't even think there should be a 30-day exemption. I think you should just pay. I support our artists, and I support getting them re-paid.
It's interesting to me, and I understand that this is an extra cost perhaps, but why us? We're the product. We provide the content. Why not go to the power company and say that we need a break on our rates because we've used so much?
I have no objection to subsidies. I just don't think they should come off the back of the artist. That's the last place it should come from.
