I'm just thinking, because of all the Canadian bands I know, most of them are pretty much hand to mouth, so radio is essential for them, and it's a great relationship. I'm thinking, why is it that a band like Bedouin Soundclash has to work for free, whereas the telephone company doesn't? If it's adjudicated by the Copyright Board, do you think it's right for the government to come along and say that copyright royalties don't have to be paid because they don't like them? Is that fair to maintaining a reasonable business model for musicians?
