Wow, this must have just happened in the last 12 months (I last looked
into this about a year ago).

Can you point out a URL to the info.  Actually, not really the info, but
any opinions regarding this from artists, radio stations, mailing list
discussions, etc.  I'm sure the RIAA has a page or two up about this,
but it's probably devoid of reasoning, etc.

Thanks for the heads up.
