[QUOTE="D3v1L80Y, post: 324694, member: 2960"] To add to this, libraries and radio stations alike both pay royalties for every time a song is played or a book lent out. Why are there fines for overdue books? To cover the royalty payments. Every time a library lends out a book, a royalty is paid. The money comes from not only overdue fines, but also from community contribution and Federal, State, and Local funding. Radio stations also pay royalties. That money comes from advertising revenue primarily. The station has the right to broadcast it, but technically you don't have the right to record it or distribute it. Nothing is given away for free. Someone somewhere has to pay for it. :black: [/QUOTE]
