I never said musicians do not get royalties from their songs being played on the radio. My point was, we heard it for free, and were able to tape it not worrying about lawsuits. Did that stop me from supporting the band by listening to the radio or going to their shows? No, just like it doesn't now. Point is, it's not any different IMO then from now. It's a matter of convenience getting the music online contrast to waiting for the song you want to come on the radio and tape it.
