Zune Social: Ok, so the topic isn't necessarily a "happy" one. Sue me.
I was listening to the radio and every other commercial on every third radio station is talking about a tax on listening to the radio. They say something along the lines of "Congress wants to charge for listening to the radio."
CBS Radio has some information on their website here (CBS Radio also applauds the Zune HD!) and this is the actual website that is trail blazing the stand against the Radio Performance Tax. Once at the site, click on "Get The Real Story" to read on what it all really means. But if you're uber lazy, just click.
You bum.
Now, to be completely honest with you, I'm not sure that this tax would affect me in any way. Unless I'm listening to my Zune (which desperately needs to sync) I listen to the historic 91X; their towers are located in Mexico. Regardless of its affect on me, I think it'd totally SUCK to have this tax implemented. The amount of music on the airwaves will be dramatically poor (worse, in some cases) and new artists will have an even more difficult time breaking out onto the music scene.
What are your thoughts on the issue? What do you think of this proposed tax? Do you agree or disagree with it? Do you even care? Is it a good idea to tax on music in this manner?
