No true. Radio has expanded online, I can listen to my favourite station streaming. Furthermore, you don't see artist backlash against radio streaming online - so why only against pure online streaming companies. Again, it comes down to royalty calculation.

There have been standardized rates approved by the RIAA and the Copyright Royalty Board for internet radio that has slowly risen over there years its something like $0.002 each time a song is played now
but the thing with streaming sites like spotify, as noted in the article, they are paying royalties too to the studios
but i agree these guys likely just want More $$ but is it deserved? is it needed? shouldn't the exposure counter their concerns?

There was no internet then, duh.

that isn't really a fair comment to make because in the eyes of people back then radio/concert/recods (LP) were their internet
and there was people performing/singing the songs and making their own records without royalty fees even in our grandparents era there was some anger over "copying" their songs not due to royalties it seems but rather racial equality issues
it just wasn't a big concern for them imo everyone was still making money and still getting exposure
