I want to tell you that this isn't just about the small radio stations. A principle is a principle. Why pay two or three times for the same thing? This is part of our mechanism. We could also ask the record industry to provide us with the music in the format in which we broadcast it. That would be a bit complicated, and I believe it would cost those people much more than $21 million because a number of technologies are involved. What can I say? This is related to the kind of technology we're offered, but we don't all have the same technology. As we're already paying our royalties; we could ask those people why they send us their music in a format that's impossible to broadcast. We could demand that they send it to us in a broadcast-ready format. This is a question of principle.
