E; that all makes sense if there were fair competition in the media business. How do we deal with an entity like clearchannel that buys up over 38% of the markets then decide what gets played on those markets.
Regulation and legislation would not dictate that the Chicks get played; only that they have an outlet that would support their opportunity to get played. They should have one of a multiple of outlets in the radio and media sphere that entertains their music and the people's rights who want to hear them. One company should not have the power to stop the playing of their music for everyone.
Thats the level playing field. You prevent one entity from deciding everything in music and what will be played. Like Wal-Mart; one company doesn't decide what goods and prices the consumer gets.
