It is clear that this structure is designed to make it prohibitively expensive to launch an internet station that plays recorded music. This is contradictory to the democratic nature of the internet, and is yet another obvious result of a government that is a wholly owned subsidiary of the corporations. The found fathers must be spinning in their graves.
